Leica Gallery Los Angeles announced a dual exhibition featuring Lena Herzog: Sol y Sombra and Geoff Winningham: A Trail of Marvels, opened on November 5th and on view through December 7, 2026.
Sol y Sombra, Spanish for “sun and shadow,” a term traditionally used to describe the sun-lit and shaded seating sections of a Spanish bullring, presents a body of high-contrast black-and-white photographs by multidisciplinary artist Lena Herzog, made in Seville. The images, of dancers, bullfighters and penitents, favor stark blacks and blown-out whites over gray, rendering each figure as a bold, vivid silhouette.
Alongside Herzog’s work, A Trail of Marvels draws on Geoff Winningham’s decades of photographing Mexican fiestas, beginning with his 1997 book In the Eye of the Sun: Mexican Fiestas, for which Nobel Prize-winning author J.M.G. Le Clézio contributed an essay and writer Richard Rodriguez wrote the introduction.
The exhibition coincides with Winningham’s recent book A Trail of Marvels: A Memoir of Mexico and Days of the Dead (2024), which gives the show its title.
Leica Gallery Los Angeles hosted an opening reception on Thursday, November 5th, inviting guests to experience both exhibitions in person.
In addition, as part of the exhibition program, Leica Gallery Los Angeles hosted a book signing on Sunday, November 8th.
This exhibition reflects Leica Gallery Los Angeles’s ongoing commitment to celebrating the art of visual storytelling and connecting exceptional photographers with audiences, collectors and the broader photographic community.
Exhibition Hours:
Leica Gallery Los Angeles is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Sunday from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
