Kai middendorff Gallery

Helga Kneidl

Romy Schneider - Bruno Ganz - Eva Mattes - Rainer Werner Fassbinder - Barbara Sukowa - Edith Clever - Angela Winkler and many more.

Her second exhibition at Kai Middendorff also focuses on wonderful photographs of Romy Schneider, some of which have never been shown before, taken in Paris in 1973. They are complemented by sensitive portraits of actresses and actors, which are characterized by a palpable trust between them and the photographer.

Helga Kneidl (born in Dresden in 1939) was initially a dancer, trained by the legendary Gret Palucca. She became known as a theater photographer through her work at the Schaubühne Berlin - during the Peter Stein era - and at the Hamburg Schauspielhaus. (Helga Kneidl is the mother of the artist Franziska Kneidl).
