In good company is the first institutional survey in Italy dedicated to Walter Pfeiffer, an artist whose prolific and pioneering work has redefined the codes of photography. With more than one hundred photos in colour and black-and-white, taken from the early 1970s to the present day, the exhibition intertwines Pfeiffer’s most iconic series with previously unseen images, in a non-hierarchical journey that highlights Pfeiffer’s unique contribution to art, photography, and fashion.

In good company traces Pfeiffer’s polyphonic trajectory, which embraces all genres of art history—especially nude, portrait, landscape, and still life—with an approach that combines formalism, chromatic force, and sensuality. Repeatedly breaking new ground, Pfeiffer’s practice has systematically ventured into uncharted territory: from his frank portrayals of queer identities and sexuality to his unprecedented reinvention of high fashion imagery through irony, playfulness, and imperfection.

The exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the breadth of Pfeiffer’s visual language and the ways in which his work has challenged conventional distinctions between artistic disciplines. Moving fluidly between intimate observation and constructed image-making, his photographs reveal an approach grounded in spontaneity while maintaining a highly distinctive aesthetic sensibility. Across decades of production, Pfeiffer has cultivated a visual world in which elegance and experimentation coexist.

By bringing together celebrated works and previously unseen material, In good company highlights the lasting relevance of Pfeiffer’s practice and its influence across contemporary visual culture. The exhibition foregrounds the artist’s ability to transform everyday encounters, bodies, and gestures into images that remain both immediate and carefully composed, reaffirming his position as a singular figure within the histories of photography, art, and fashion.
