Told and Untold: The Photo Stories of Kati Horna in the Illustrated Press

Published in association with the first U.S. solo exhibition dedicated to Kati Horna, the catalogue features some never before seen photographs displayed alongside the newspapers and magazines in which they circulated. 

Told and Untold, published in association with the first U.S. solo exhibition dedicated to Kati Horna (b. 1912 Budapest – d. 2000 Mexico City), features photographs—some never before seen—displayed alongside the newspapers and magazines in which they circulated. Though she is now perhaps best known as a surrealist, Horna often defined herself as collaborator with the press, a definition that encompassed not only her activities as a field photographer during the Spanish Civil War, but also her work as a layout artist and photomonteur for anarchist publications. From her early years in interwar Paris through her late work produced in Mexico, this publication offers a comprehensive overview of Horna’s diverse practice, including her photographs, contact sheets, montaged cuttings, and personal albums.
