Lara Sebire-Hawkins, the Wiener Library

The Wiener Library’s summer exhibition displays the remarkable work of German Jewish photographer Gerty Simon, and features many of her original prints from the 1920s and 1930s. This project will bring into focus, for the first time in eighty years, the work of this powerful and innovative photographic artist.
