Michael Schmidt
A new German Perspective
From 08 June to 29 August 2021
Jeu de Paume – Paris
Michael Schmidt (1945-2014) occupies a unique position in contemporary German photography.
Born in Berlin, he was self-taught, adopting photography as his artistic medium in the mid-1960s. For each of his themes, he developed his own approach to reality. The Michael Schmidt retrospective at the Jeu de Paume, the most comprehensive to date, offers a complete overview of his oeuvre from 1965 to 2014.
