In 1927, Dr. Otto Lossen received the sole commission to photograph and document the buildings of the Werkbund exhibition "Die Wohnung" in Stuttgart. His photos served as press photos and were published around the world during the exhibition period. As a result, they contributed significantly to the enthusiastic and international reception of the Weissenhof Estate and continue to shape its perception to this day.
Little was previously known about Lossen's life and other works. The exhibition is dedicated to the biography of the doctor of chemistry, who came to photography via a position at the Stuttgart company J. Hauff & Co. More of his works are on display, some of which are original prints. Also on display are new, large-format and effective reproductions of his Weissenhof pictures in high quality. Discovered original contact prints from the lost glass plates from various archives serve as models.
An exhibition curated by Inken Gaukel, in scientific collaboration with Wolfram Janzer.
