Exhibition
The female view in photographies from the SpallArt Collection
February 14 to April 12, 2026
The gallery in Prien's Old Town Hall is showing the exhibition “Not Nice Girls. The Female Gaze in Photographs from the SpallArt Collection.” The title of the exhibition refers to a quote by American photographer Berenice Abbott, who sought out her original motifs there despite the dangers posed by New York's Lower East Side in the 1930s. As the world of photography has long been dominated by men, the exhibition in Prien focuses on the work of international and national female photographers. Over 180 works by Inge Morath, Vivian Maier, Lisette Model, Cindy Sherman, Beate Passow, and many others offer an in-depth look at identity, reflection, change, and a precise observation of scientific processes, urban life, and interpersonal encounters. The thematic juxtaposition with works by male photographers, also from the collection, is exciting and open to personal discovery.
