Lee Miller photography exhibition in Italy

Overview

The Museo Civico San Domenico in Forlì is hosting a retrospective exhibition titled ‘Lee Miller: Works 1930–1955’, running from October 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027. Curated by Walter Guadagnini, the exhibition features over 160 images from the Lee Miller Archives, including many previously unpublished works.

The showcase explores the multifaceted career of the American photographer, spanning her surrealist period in Paris as an assistant to Man Ray, her fashion and portraiture work, and her role as an accredited correspondent during World War II. The collection highlights her documentation of bomb-damaged London and concentration camps while working for Vogue, aiming to connect her artistic experimentation, such as solarization, with her professional journalistic commissions.

Following its opening, visitors have noted the exhibition’s capacity to balance “intense, heavy subject matter, such as war imagery, with lighter photographic works,” providing a diverse narrative of 20th-century history through her documentation of experiences in Paris, New York, Egypt, and England.
