The exhibition “Decade by Decade” by Walker Evans opens on 20th September 2012 at the ‘Photographische Sammlung’ in Köln. Evans is one of the leading figures of Twentieth Century photography, having established the term ‘documentary style’ with his intensely evocative black-and-white photographs. In a career spanning more than five decades, he has created authentic images of America, always highlighting the extraordinary within everyday scenes and people.

The exhibition will be open in the gallery space of the ‘Photographische Sammlung’ in Köln until the 20th January 2013. The images on display will include works from the private collection of Clark and Joan Worswick, as well as selected photographs from German collections.
