Exhibition «Minor White»

The Sala Recoletos de la Fundación MAPFRE has opened the first European retrospective of Minor White. Until 10 January 2027, visitors can explore the work of this photographer, for whom it was not only important to take a photograph, but also to decide which image the viewer would see next.

The exhibition brings together nature photographs, portraits, and street scenes. The sequences of images that White often presented in portfolios are a highlight. When viewed together, it becomes clear how the relationship between the photographs changes the impression each one makes. Some of these works are being shown in Europe for the first time.

The exhibition also includes contact sheets, books, and magazines that reveal other aspects of White as a teacher, editor, and curator, as well as co-founder of the magazine Aperture. Carlos Gollonet, with the collaboration of Lucía de Lucas, offers a look at his work with the camera and his way of presenting and understanding photography.
