Claire Aho at The Photographers' Gallery, LondonWolfson Gallery (2nd floor)
19 April - 21 July 2013
"Claire Aho (b. 1925, Finland) is a pioneer of Finnish colour photography. This will be the first
exhibition of Aho’s work outside of Finland. Grandchild of the author Juhani Aho and the painter
Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, Aho established her own commercial studio in the early 1950s working
across a broad range of industries including editorial, advertising, magazine covers and fashion. The
exhibition will include a large selection of original Finnish lifestyle magazines with Aho’s cover
photographs and up to seventy images from her archive. Saturated with colour and full of humor her
images, although distinct to Finland and to the period, still remain relevant to young practitioners today."
