SUMMARY

An exhibition titled 'August Sander: On His 150th Birthday' delves into the broader photographic output of the pioneering portraitist, August Sander. While known for his landmark 'People of the 20th Century' series, the exhibition highlights rarely seen early images, commissioned photographs, and documentation of his home and studio.
