Opening Reception "Then and Now: Life and Dreams Revisited"

The Walther Collection is pleased to present Then and Now: Life and Dreams Revisited, an exhibition that extends the Collection's ongoing survey of Chinese photography since 2017. This second iteration combines early 20th century travel photography of China with seminal works by 31 internationally renowned artists such as Ai Weiwei, Song Dong, RongRong, Yang Fudong, and Zhang Huan, as well as a presentation of innovative works by a younger generation of artists, such as Lu Yang and Lin Zhipeng (aka No.223). Juxtaposing historical and contemporary works, Then and Now illustrates epochal changes that have not only transformed China's rural and urban habitats over the past century, but also essential aspects of social relationships and everyday life.
