Hungarian émigré György Kepes (b.1906–d.2001) helped found the New Bauhaus in America. This short-serving but impactful school continued to support his career. Kepes’s photograms, recently acquired by TATE, are shown here, together for the first time demonstrating the early possibilities of cameraless photography. Continuing in their strong and agile partnership, LJMU and TATE Liverpool join forces to deliver a second installation for the Kepes show. Tate Liverpool presents the first UK solo exhibition of the Hungarian-born artist, designer and educator György Kepes, bringing together 80 photographic works and collages for the first time. On display will be photographs, photomontages and photograms, all of which were made shortly after Kepes’s emigration to the United States in 1937. His ‘camera-less’ photograms were made in the darkroom by arranging and exposing objects directly on top of light-sensitive paper; juxtaposing geometric, industrial, typographic and organic forms to create images that are poised between abstraction and representation
