The Tokyo Fuji Art Museum opened its private collection exhibition, “Vintage Prints by Robert Capa (Part Two),” that features 18 photographs by the renowned American war photographer.
Held in commemoration of the centennial of Capa’s birth, the two-part exhibition consists of 36 total prints, of which four (of which two are presented in Part Two) are shown in double-sided displays. It enables viewers to see what is usually hidden: the back of the prints, and the stamps and signatures found on them. Their rarity value is high in that they are usually limited in print to only several sheets for use in manuscripts, storage and presents for friends.
“Vintage Prints by Robert Capa (Part Two)” presents works taken in France, Spain, China and other war-torn countries from 1936 to 1939. The exhibition opens today and will run until January 5, 2014.
