\u201cElliott Erwitt. The Art of Observing\u201d takes visitors on a journey into the more intimate world of one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth century. Around one hundred photographs \u2014 including iconic images and works from the artist\u2019s private collection, many of which have never previously been exhibited \u2014 reveal the man behind the camera and the profound connection between personal experience, collective memory and universal photography.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/article>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Exhibition<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On view at the Museo Civico Archeologico in Bologna from 1 October 2026 to 28 February 2027, Elliott Erwitt. The Art of Observing offers an intimate and personal reinterpretation of the work of one of the twentieth century\u2019s most important photographers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curated by Biba Giacchetti, the exhibition is produced and organised by Civita Mostre e Musei, in collaboration with the Museo Civico Archeologico, part of the Civic Museums Department of the Municipality of Bologna.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRead more<\/span>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is divided into five sections and brings together around one hundred photographs, combining some of Erwitt\u2019s most celebrated images with a selection of works from his private collection, some of which are being exhibited for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family photographs, reportage, street photography and portraits of leading figures from the worlds of politics, cinema and culture reveal an autobiographical, ironic and deeply human perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One section is dedicated to Erwitt\u2019s relationship with Italy, where he spent part of his childhood before being forced to leave the country with his family as a result of the Fascist racial laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The photographs are accompanied by previously unpublished texts by Biba Giacchetti, who was a friend and collaborator of the photographer for more than thirty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is accompanied by a book published by Orion 57.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
