The exhibition featuring Pınar Öğrenci’s Glück auf in Deutschland (Good Luck in Germany), currently on view in Gallery 1120, explores labor, class, migration, gender, and public health in the face of rapid industrialization in Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Inspired by the exhibition, this seminar will offer a close look at photographic representations of industry from our collections to consider these same issues. We will look at examples from Harvard’s Progressive-era Social Museum (1903–30) and by photographers including Ben Shahn, Albert Renger-Patzsch, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and Helga Paris.

Led by:

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