Wanda and Marion Wulz: Avant-garde Photography in 20th-Century Italy

Overview

Book tickets to visit our current exhibition and permanent collection or one of our events.

In 1928, Wanda and Marion inherited the photography studio founded by their grandfather, Giuseppe Wulz, and later run by their father, Carlo. Having been immersed in photography from an early age, the sisters transformed the studio into a vibrant centre of artistic and commercial production in their native Trieste. They worked with a diverse clientele that included artists, actors, dancers, athletes and the fashion designer Anita Pittoni, establishing themselves as leading figures within the city’s cultural life.

Beyond their commercial success, photography enabled both sisters to articulate their identities as modern, emancipated women. Their collaboration situated their work within broader conversations about fashion, performance and female self-representation in the interwar period.
