More Irving Penn!

More Irving Penn!

More works by the photographer Irving Penn have been added to the Moderna Museet collection, thanks to a donation from the Irving Penn Foundation. You can see them on display in the collection from Friday, 5 April.
The eight donated photographs are from the first years of the 2000s, and they are a fantastic complement to the 100 works already in the collection. A newly installed gallery at the Museum features some 30 works by Penn, some from the recent donation and some that were already in the Moderna Museet collection.

The photographer Irving Penn (1917–2009) had a long and successful career. He has inspired many others with his photographs and his approach. Penn worked for the fashion magazine ”Vogue” from the mid-1940s and he attended the haute couture shows in Paris every year until the late 1970s.
