Overview
Trude Geiringer (1890-1981)
Geiringer met fellow Austrian Jewish photographer Dora Horovitz in circa 1925 or 1926, and the two women established Atelier Geiringer und Horovitz with the financial support of Geiringer's husband. Geiringer acted as the photographer while Horovitz was responsible for developing the film, and editing and retouching the prints. Their work included portraiture, fashion photography, still life, and sports photography. Many prominent Austrian and German artists, actors, and writers sat for portraits at the studio. Geiringer departed the studio in either 1931 or 1934, and following the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany, she and her family left Vienna in July 1938 and emigrated to the United States. Geiringer briefly worked as a photographer at Apeda Studio in New York City and later opened her own studio in New Rochelle, New York, which closed soon after. Unable to establish her photography career in the United States, Geiringer retired in the 1940s, although she continued taking photographs privately. She died on July 15, 1981 in Larchmont, New York.
