Yvonne Oswald
Yvonne Oswald, born in Salzburg, studied graphic design and photography at the Parsons School in New York and at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, graduating with a Master of Arts. After a successful career in graphic and fashion design, she decided to focus on photography in 2003.
The perspective of decoupling the once so intimate relationship between man and nature defines Oswald's work in motifs of abandonment, abstractions of plants or details of landscapes, composed into new images as a dreamlike question of what may be hidden beneath and as an unnoticed symbol of fragility.
Yvonne Oswald became known for her melancholic, artistic works about the abandoned Südbahnhotel in Semmering. Her photographic projects have been shown in numerous exhibitions at home and abroad. Among others in New York, Rome, Prague, Tehran, Isfahan and in 2024 in Warsaw, Istanbul, Ljubljana and Paris. Her works can be found in various international public and private collections, including the Belvedere Museum, Lower Austrian Museum, Spallart Collection, Südbahnmuseum, Jewish Museum Vienna and others. In recent years, Yvonne Oswald has published fifteen books on various topics, as well as numerous articles in international magazines such as L'Oeil de la Photographie, Christies Magazine, The World of Interiors, Parnass, Les Nouveaux Riches. Office Magazine, Art Daily and others.
