Finding Gerty: Exhibiting Gerty Simon’s work for the first time in 85 years
Zoom-Talk in Kooperation mit der Wiener Holocaust Library (Englisch)
Die Online-Veranstaltung findet auf Englisch statt.
Join us for this online English-language event with the curators of The Wiener Holocaust Library’s Berlin-London: The Lost Photographs of Gerty Simon exhibition and Liebermann-Villa am Wannsee’s current show, Gerty Simon. Berlin/ London. A Photographer in Exile.
Dr Lucy Wasensteiner and Dr Barbara Warnock will discuss the genesis and development of their respective exhibitions and provide an insight into the life, work and career of German Jewish photographer Gerty Simon, who photographed many of the leading cultural and political figures of her day in Berlin, and then, in exile after 1933 in London. This year at Liebermann-Villa, Simon’s work is on display in Germany for the first time since her flight to Britain after the accession to power of the Nazi Party.
