Koudelka returns to Prague

03/04/2018, With the retrospective “Koudelka: Returning” the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague presents a cross-section of the photographer Josef Koudelka’s work to mark his eightieth birthday. The basis of the exhibition comprises 350 photographs, which are part of the large set of works that Koudelka has generously decided to give to his native land. The Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague will manage it thus becoming the only institution in the world to have such a large collection of the oeuvre of this world-renowned Magnum photographer. The exhibition includes all of the well-known series of Koudelka’s work so far (Beginnings, Experiments, Theatre, Gypsies, Invasion 68, Exiles, and Panoramas). Included are many unique vintage prints, some of which are presented here for the first time.
