Lodz Ghetto Album, Side Gallery
On until 26th March, the Lodz Ghetto exhibition by Henryk Ross is a touring exhibition from the Archive of Modern Conflict. The photographs are new prints, made from the original wartime negatives. Many bear the scars of damage that results from their burial in the ghetto, and no attempt has been made to enhance or repair them.
“Extraordinary and very moving” John A Clarke

People of the 20th Century, Dean Gallery, Edinburgh
August Sander (1876-1964) was one of the greatest and most influential photographers of the 20th century. During his whole career he photographed individuals and groups of people that he then classified according to their occupations and position in society. This lifelong attempt to document the German people resulted in the ambitious project entitled People of the 20th Century.
“His portraiture inspired the likes of Diane Arbus and is rarely seen on the wall. This really is a must see” John A Clarke
