Die Internationale Kunstausstellung Dresden 1926 in historischen Aufnahmen von Alexander Paul Walther
Kommentierte Quellenedition
The 1926 Dresden International Art Exhibition was one of the most prominent of its kind during the Weimar Republic. Its achievements also formed the basis for the first documenta in Kassel in 1955. Historical photographs by the architectural photographer Alexander Paul Walther are used here to trace the appearance, intentions and impact of this major event.
These important photographic documents are held in the archives of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and have never before been published together and in full. This annotated edition has been produced by the Dresden Albertinum under the BMBF joint research project “From Object to Exhibit” as an inspiring basis for further research.
