Current and upcoming exhibitions
Fred Kormis: Sculpting the Twentieth Century
Our new exhibition surveys the life and career of Jewish émigré sculptor Fred Kormis and reunites some of the most important of his diverse works, from the woodcut prints he produced in a Prisoner of War camp, to the medallions he made of leading figures in British life, and the first memorial in Britain to the victims of Nazi concentration camps.
Fred Kormis – Lost Works
Our latest Reading Room mini exhibition explores the lost works of Fred Kormis. Kormis made and commissioned photographs of much of his work, and these preserved images, held in The Wiener Holocaust Library’s collections, create a record of what has been lost. It is believed that the works depicted in these photographs are lost.
