Exhibition

Following by the exhibition “Alexander Rodchenko: Photography and Book Designs in the1920’s” in 1987, Tokyo Publishing House presented an exhibition featuring Karl Blossfeldt’s fifty plant portraits, “Modern Print”, one of the Printed Matters series. Our monographic presentation introduced his life and work. Both had not been much explored in Japan at the time.
