Now showing at the Art Institute of Chicago:
Josef Koudelka: Nationality Doubtful
As a young man, renowned Magnum photographer Josef Koudelka risked his life and his freedom to capture daring images of the Soviet-led invasion of Prague in 1968. In this video he discusses these and many other gripping photographs from “Josef Koudelka: Nationality Doubtful”, his first U.S. retrospective since 1988. Through September 14, 2014
Czech-born French artist Josef Koudelka belongs in the firmament of classic photographers working today. Honored with the French Prix Nadar (1978), the Hasselblad Prize (1992), and the International Center of Photography Infinity Award (2004), Koudelka is also a leading member of the world-renowned photo agency Magnum. This exhibition, his first retrospective in the United States since 1988, is also the first museum show ever to emphasize his original vintage prints, period books, magazines, and significant unpublished materials.
