Overview

A World Observed 1940 – 2010 is the first comprehensive retrospective tracing one exceptional woman’s photographic career across six decades and several continents. From vintage portraits to abstract Polaroids, our absorbing exhibition features around 200 prints by leading photographer Dorothy Bohm. Discover a vast collection of aesthetically striking and deeply humane works that document the people and landscapes of Africa, Europe and North America in a rapidly changing world. Plus, explore a recreation of Bohm’s 1940s portrait studio and (re)discover the fading art of film processing in our gallery dark room.
