"Dorothy Bohm's exhibition, titled 'About Women', will feature seven decades of her photography focused on women, reflecting her unique perspective and experiences as a female artist."
"Monica Bohm-Duchen, Bohm's daughter, states, 'She always said that being a woman was actually an advantage, not a disadvantage,' highlighting her mother's positive view on gender in art."
"Bohm began her street photography career in 1947, inspired by a visit to an artist colony in Ascona, Switzerland, which significantly influenced her artistic direction."
"Despite limited recognition during her lifetime, interest in Bohm's work is increasing, with recent acquisitions by the Victoria and Albert Museum and Kettle's Yard."
Dorothy Bohm's exhibition 'About Women' opens on April 2 at Farleys House & Gallery, featuring her female-focused photography spanning seven decades. Bohm, born in 1924, fled to England before World War II and became a significant figure in London’s photography scene. Her work, primarily in black and white before transitioning to color in the 1980s, is gaining recognition, with recent acquisitions by major museums. Bohm's daughter emphasizes her mother's belief that being a woman was an advantage in her artistic journey.
