Section, Crop, Detail. Photography of Artworks in Interwar Czechoslovakia — Institute of Art History, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague

The exhibition explores photographs of artworks from interwar Czechoslovakia, focusing on their details and cropped sections. It reveals various motivations for using photographic detail—from conservation interventions through shifts in how the public observed art to the documentation of works' structure and texture.
