George Hoyningen-Huene was born on this day in 1900 ✨ And we are marking the day by reading the spectacular new book ‘This is Photography’ edited by @nathalie.herschdorfer It is the ultimate guide to the magic and mystery of photography, featuring the landmark photographs, inventions, innovations, exhibitions and publications that changed the way we see the world. From Eadweard Muybridge, Man Ray and Hoyningen-Huene, to Zanele Muholi, Cindy Sherman and Barbara Kruger, it celebrates photographs from leading image-makers, presented chronologically alongside key objects and developments. The book features an essay by @suzy_brown_london on Hoyningen-Huene’s iconic 1929 portrait of Josephine Baker for Vanity Fair. ‘This is Photography’ is published worldwide from 27 August 2026.

Horst P. Horst (1906-1999) met George Hoyningen-Huene in Paris in 1930 and was photographed by Huene many times. This picture of Horst in his German lederhosen was taken in 1931. They were lovers in the 1930s and lifelong friends. Huene taught Horst everything he knew about photography and Horst became one of Vogue’s star photographers himself, enjoying a career that spanned six decades. #georgehoyningenhuene #hoyningenhuene #horst #horstphorst #fashionphotographer

We are proud to present our exhibition at The ’Quin House in Boston @thequinhouseboston — a place where history meets the present, and where ideas, people, and aesthetics intersect. In connection with the exhibition, Executive Director Tommy Rönngren was interviewed by Kaitlin Boehm (Associate Curator & Collections Manager, Kate Chertavian Fine Art) for Quin Chat. We spoke about photography, legacy, and the responsibility we have toward the artists who came before us. ”I read the images rather than looked at them.” ”Our obligation is to show his work the way he wanted us to do it.” The conversation traces the life and work of George Hoyningen-Huene — a Russian-born baron, Vogue’s first chief photographer, and the creator of one of the most quietly influential bodies of work in the history of the medium. On artifice and intention. On what it means to preserve an artist’s legacy. And on why images composed nearly a century ago feel more urgent now than ever. © George Hoyningen-Huene Courtesy of George Hoyningen-Huene Estate Archives #QuinHouse #Photography #GeorgeHoyningenHuene #ArtLegacy #exhibition
