Gallery Talk: Hannah Höch’s Critical Photomontage

March 2, 2023 @ 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm

$18 – $65

In this talk, curator Lynette Roth examines a newly acquired photomontage by Berlin Dadaist Hannah Höch. In Ancient Runners Frieze (1930), Höch juxtaposes images of African, Egyptian, and European people and art objects culled from illustrated magazines and newspapers to call attention to gender stereotypes and the pervasiveness of racist and colonialist ideas in interwar Germany and in the history of art more generally. The work is currently on view in Gallery 1440 as part of our ReFrame initiative.
