German photographer Walde Huth (1923–2011) spent her entire career exploring textiles and fabrics. Starting with commissions in the early 1950s, including those from the velvet factory Gottlieb Ott Sohn, she was able to enter the international world of fashion as a photographer, working with designers of the “New Look” such as Christian Dior and Jacques Fath.
It is clear that we know much too little about Walde Huth. This presentation offers visitors the chance to get to know her work. It is also an invitation to share memories and knowledge as well as to begin research on the continuities and gaps between her first years as a photographer for Agfa and her career during the postwar “economic miracle” in West Germany. On the occasion of the centenary of Walde Huth’s birth, the Museum Ludwig is presenting its holdings of her work, which have been extensively enlarged since 2017.
