Works from Pieter Hugo's series, Judges and Barristers, are included in Hair Stories Power and Passion, a group exhibition on view at the Kunsthalle München in Munich, Germany, from March 20 through October 4, 2026.
From the exhibition's press release: "Whether long, short, or shaved, curly or straight, hair is far more than a matter of style. It speaks of beauty and desire, of power and vulnerability, of conformity and rebellion. Hair is a potent form of expression—political, religious, cultural, and deeply personal. We use it to signal belonging, shape identity, and captivate others. The exhibition at Kunsthalle München invites visitors on a stimulating, sensory, and surprising journey through three millennia of the art and cultural history of hair. Around 200 works, from antiquity to the present—including paintings, sculptures, photographs, video works, jewelry, furniture, design objects, and couture creations —reveal the power inherent in the seemingly everyday."
