Current Exhibition
"August Sander and Seydou Keïta: Portraiture and Social Identity"
September 23, 2011–March 10, 2012
The Walther Collection unites the portraiture of two modern photography masters, August Sander and Seydou Keïta, whose images vividly capture the rapid social transformations of the twentieth century through the faces of everyday people. Encapsulating two distinct cultures in pivotal moments of societal transition, Sander and Keïta's portraits reflect on the experience and role of the individual in Germany and Mali. The dual presentation, on view at the Walther Collection Project Space from September 23, 2011, through March 10, 2012, considers how these prolific photographers documented the visual histories and shifting identities of their two countries.
