Exhibition Chronology

Rajka Knipper

The exhibition chronology is based on the literature about Karl Blossfeldt listed in the bibliography and the exhibition databases available on the Internet as well as the relevant exhibition catalogues and invitations. Each exhibition is shown with its title, venue and dates followed by a brief description and at least one source reference in parentheses. Tour venues are listed in chronological sequence. It was not possible to verify whether changes were made to presentations and thus whether Karl Blossfeldt participated in each exhibition from beginning to end. Solo exhibitions whose titles are not cited in the sources are given the title “Karl Blossfeldt”. Forward slashes (/) separate different titles used for exhibitions on tour.
