CAMERA WORK opened the CWC GALLERY, a second gallery in a Berlin building that is steeped in history : the Ehemalige Jüdische Mädchenschule Berlin (former Jewish girls’ school). CWC GALLERY, in keeping with the name CAMERA WORK CONTEMPORARY, will show contemporary positions in photography, painting and sculpture in comprehensive retrospectives, conceptual group exhibitions or cooperations with private collectors and art institutions. CWC GALLERY was inaugurated with a comprehensive exhibition of photographer Robert Polidori’s work that opened on February 10. Apart from the most iconic, world-famous images from his oeuvre, several new works will be presented for the first time.
