Wereldtentoonstelling van de Fotografie

Five hundred and fifty-five photographs by 264 photographers from 30 countries explore the theme 'What is Man?' in this catalogue for the first World Exhibition of Photography. Organized by a group of European museums, art galleries, and cultural institutions and made possible by the illustrated magazine Stern, the traveling exhibition was shown across museums in Europe. The concept and composition of the exhibition were developed by Karl Pawek, who also contributed an introductory text alongside a foreword by Heinrich Böll. The graphic layout of the catalogue was designed by Peter Jürgen Wilhelm. Six photographs from the exhibition are reproduced on the cover: works by Bruce Davidson (no. 110), Wolfgang Schmittel (no. 250), Herbert List (no. 534), Bob Willoughby (no. 546), W. Suschitzky (no. 552), and Franz Hubmann (no. 555).
