Photography, with its various possibilities, enables one to show, liberate and develop one’s own sensibility which can be expressed in graphic images. - Kati Horna
Ruiz-Healy Art is pleased to present Kati Horna: In Motion, a solo exhibition of works by Hungarian/Mexican photographer Kati Horna at our New York City gallery. This is Horna’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and her first solo exhibition at a gallery in New York City. Kati Horna (1912-2000) was born to an affluent Jewish family in Budapest. Throughout her life Horna would go on to both live and flee Hungary, Germany, France, and Spain. In her later life Horna would go on to state, “I fled Hungary, I fled Berlin, I fled Paris, and I left everything behind in Barcelona...It’s for vagabonds like me. Because my clothes got torn on the route, I selected photography.” The violence, danger, and injustice of the interwar period profoundly influenced Horna’s ideology with photography gifting her with a vehicle for emancipation.
