A native of Frankfurt and a failed physicist, Elsa in 1930 he moved to Paris, where he was waiting for her dizzying career of a professional photographer. Starting at the leading Parisian Newspapers and magazines L'illustration, Le Monde illustré Paris Vogue, Adam Marchal, American Harper's Bazaar. Elsa Bing soon became famous. In the late 1920-х — the early 1930-х years she was almost the only professional working with the narrow camera. Her avant-garde images brought the artist the title of "Queen of the Leica". Work Elsa has participated in exhibitions along with works by man ray, andré Kertész and Henri Cartier-Брессона, and in 1931, took her first solo exhibition. At the beginning of the Second world war, Elsa Bing emigrated to the United States. Settling in new-Йорке, it was replaced by "Leica" large format camera and became interested in the genre of portraiture. "I didn't choose photography, it chose me... Now, over 50 years later, I can look back and explain why. In a sense it was the trend of the times, when people began to see at the-разному... a Mechanical device made inroads into the field of art", — as-то Elsa said Bing.
In anticipation of the opening of the exhibition Mikhail Baryshnikov said, "In the late 1970-х I met and became friends with a unique Ilse Bing. In 1978, joining New York City Ballet, I received a gift of pictures of her ballet George Balanchine's "Errante" (1933) — twenty-five pictures taken in diffused light during the premiere in Paris, which has consolidated its reputation as a leading master of contemporary photography. These outstanding works and to this day continue to influence my work".
