The exhibition Photographers at the Front - From Lee Miller to Anja Niedringhaus is dedicated to the pictorial reporting from international wars and conflicts. It shows around 140 pictures taken between 1936 and 2011 by the photojournalists and documentary photographers Carolyn Cole (*1961), Françoise Demulder (1947-2008), Catherine Leroy (1944-2006), Susan Meiselas (*1948), Lee Miller (1907-1977), Anja Niedringhaus (1965-2014), Christine Spengler (*1945) and Gerda Taro (1910-1937). In their photographs, the photographers provide a fragmentary insight into the complex reality of war, from the Spanish Civil War, World War II and the Vietnam War to more recent international war events in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya.
