“These prints are important in the history of photography.” -Ilse Bing. Crowned “The Queen of Leica” for her 1929 adoption of this innovative new camera, photographer Ilse Bing places her work in the art historical canon. This short film brings us into Bing’s 1992 New York apartment as she carefully shows us images from her personal print collection, recounting the stories behind them. In 1992, filmmaker Antonia Lerch travelled from Germany to visit and interview Bing in her home for one month. Their conversations resulted in Ilse Bing 1899-1998, an hour-long documentary from which this film was edited.

About SFMOMA:
Founded in 1935 under the direction of Grace McCann Morley, SFMOMA was the first museum on the West Coast dedicated to modern and contemporary art. While SFMOMA has yet to adopt an institution-wide land acknowledgment, we encourage audiences to view this film commissioned for our platform Open Space: sfmoma.me/3iKWF4c. Updates on the museum’s ongoing diversity, equity, and inclusion work can be found here: sfmoma.me/3a46wzO.
In support of our commitment to institutional accountability, SFMOMA’s social media team will routinely moderate and respond to public comments to ensure they remain spaces of lively discourse and art appreciation from many voices.
