On Tuesday 8 September, Kunsthal Rotterdam hosts KunstKoppels. During KunstKoppels, you meet someone at the Kunsthal who is completely new to you. Someone from a different generation, background, or way of life. Together, you will visit the exhibition Helen Levitt. City at Play.
Experience a comprehensive overview of the work of Helen Levitt (1913–2009) at Kunsthal Rotterdam, one of the most important street photographers of the twentieth century. With over 220 photographs, a film and colour slides, drawn for the first time from her complete archive, City at Play brings more than fifty years of work together in one exhibition. Throughout her career, Levitt photographed life on the streets of New York: children playing under an open fire hydrant, women whispering in a doorway, a couple in the subway. Never posed or sensational, but full of subtle humour, tenderness and an eye for the everyday.
