The exhibition is dedicated to Thomas Walther’s photographic collection, acquired in 2001 by the New York MoMA. The German collector, currently based in Zurich, has collected hundreds of photographs taken during the years between the two World Wars: a period of great creative experimentation during which numerous resources of this expressive medium were investigated. The exhibition also includes iconic photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, Alfred Stieglitz, Berenice Abbott, El Lissitzky, Lucia Moholy and Paul Strand, exhibited alongside other less known but equally significant artists.
