Lost Vanguard: Soviet Modernist Architecture, 1922-32 August 18, 2007

'Lost Vanguard: Soviet Modernist Architecture, 1922-32' examines Soviet avant-garde architecture in the post revolutionary period. The featured projects have seldom been published and remain largely unknown. The exhibition highlights some eighty photographs by architectural photographer Richard Pare who created nearly ten thousand images to compile a timely documentation of these structures, many of which are now in various states of decay, transformation, and peril. Pare's images are supplemented by Soviet periodicals to provide historical context for an exploration of this extraordinary architecture.
