Evelyn Hofer at The Photographers' Gallery is the first UK solo exhibition of the German-American photographer Evelyn Hofer (1922-2009). On display are Hofer’s characteristically considered, large-format portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, still lifes and domestic interiors, many of which demonstrate her preference for the complex colour dye transfer process.
Clare Grafik offers insight into the show in this exhibition tour across two floors.
