The recent discovery of an enormous body of previously unknown work, including more than 10,000 negatives, by renowned photographer Roman Vishniac has revealed a far more versatile, innovative, and accomplished artist than previously thought. The New Yorker called the images "a revelation." Join us for a day-long symposium as scholars, photography curators, and cultural critics reappraise Vishniac's radically diverse body of work that spans the 1920s through the 1970s.

This symposium is organized in conjunction with the publication of Roman Vishniac Rediscovered by Maya Benton (co-published by the International Center of Photography and DelMonico Books•Prestel).

Roman Vishniac Rediscovered has been supported by generous grants from The David Berg Foundation, The Conference on Jewish Material Claims against Germany, Joyce B. Linker, and the Andrew and Marina Lewin Family Foundation.
