FROM COPENHAGEN TO CALIFORNIA

Born in Switzerland in 1937, HANS MAULI studied art in Zurich at the Kunstgewerbeschule, then lived and worked as a designer and art director in Copenhagen, London, Paris and New York in the sixties, most notably for Herb Lubalin in New York and for Young & Rubicam in Paris. In 1971 he switched to photography and established himself in Paris, primarily but not exclusively in advertising, for the next 20 years. He worked for major advertising agencies including Young and Rubicam, J. Walter Thompson, McCann Erickson, Publicis, Doyle Dane Bernbach and TBWA, and extensively for Sony. In 1991 he moved with his family to the United States, lived on the East Coast and traveled extensively throughout the country for a year, then moved to the Bay Area. One of his prints, Window Dressing, Copenhagen 1960 (pictured left), was acquired by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

FROM COPENHAGEN TO CALIFORNIA exhibits period silver gelatin prints from the years 1959 and 1960 as well as new current work in both traditional and digital media. Fine still life, landscape, and "people" photography remain MAULI's specialty, with emphasis on precision and a powerful command of lighting.
