Crossing Borders: Modern Photographs from Central Europe

September 8 – December 16, 2001

This exhibition was the first in a series highlighting new photography acquisitions.

Supplemented by key loans, it featured the Smart Museum's growing collection of modernist Central European photographs made between the two world wars. This exhibition explored the internationalism of this work, expressed in part though the stylistic synthesis of pictorial and modernist styles, and included works by Frantesek Drtikol, Jaromír Funke, Imre Kinski, Jaroslav Rösler, and Joseph Sudek, among others.
