To have a look at German photography at the turn of the century? Why, you could ask. It was long time ago, far away. What is all this good for?
Well, I have an answer to this. It is valid for me, the others should decide. Since I am allowed to travel, I am less and less convinced about the existence of Hungarian, German, Danish, Austrian or Hottentot art-photography. I believe there is just one, which is universal, which is build up of good Hungarian, German, Danish, good Hottentot photographs and photographers. Therefore the answer to the question is the following: those who see German art-photographs from the turn of the century in the Hungarian Museum of Photography, will find a few good, and a few outstanding works of universal photography by Nicola Perscheid, Heinrich Kühn, Eugene Frank, Hugo Erfurtht and Rudolf Dührkoop. This – we may admit – is something great.
