Join curator Lynette Roth for a close look at recent additions to the Busch-Reisinger Museum collection. In the 1970s and 1980s, the body-based photographic practices of East German artist Gabriele Stötzer and Polish artist Natalia LL challenged officially sanctioned art making and gender disparities in socialist states during the Cold War.

This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.

Led by:
Lynette Roth, Daimler Curator of the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
