The first comprehensive retrospective of the work of László Moholy-Nagy (1895–1946) to appear in the United States in nearly fifty years, Moholy-Nagy: Future Present, on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum May 27–September 7, 2016, reveals a utopian artist who believed that art could work hand-in-hand with technology for the betterment of humanity. The exhibition presents an unparalleled opportunity to examine the career of this pioneering painter, photographer, sculptor, and filmmaker as well as graphic, exhibition, and stage designer, who was also an influential teacher at the Bauhaus, a prolific writer, and later the founder of Chicago’s Institute of Design.
These clips from the Guggenheim app feature insights from Karole P. B. Vail, the Guggenheim’s organizing curator for the exhibition; Matthew S. Witkovsky, the Richard and Ellen Sandor Chair and Curator of the Department of Photography at the Art Institute of Chicago; and Carol S. Eliel, Curator of Modern Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
