Anita’s Point of View | photo basel – With the exhibition, photo basel is dedicating a homage to the person who has done so much for Swiss photography. The exhibition is on view from 14 to 19 June 2022 and is curated by Alessa Widmer.

Anita Neugebauer (1916-2012) founded Switzerland's first photo gallery in 1976 and devoted herself to the mediation of international and national photography. With her gallery, exhibition and collecting activities, she became an important pioneer for the continuing development of photography in Switzerland.

In collaboration with Claudia Neugebauer and the Fabian & Claude Walter Galerie, we endeavored to provide an intimate glimpse into the world of Anita Neugebauer. The purpose of this homage is not to show photographs relating to a particular theme or selected time period, but rather to convey Anita Neugebauer's view of photography and her joy and passion towards the medium.
