Silver girls. Retouched history of photography

The photo book Silver Girls. Retouched History of Photography was born out of an exhibition of the same name at the Tartu Art Museum. The richly illustrated book tells the stories of ten early woman photographers who worked in the geographical region of Estonia and Latvia in the interwar period. The book brings to the readers a vast and multifaceted selection of the history of photography from numerous museums and private collectors. Documentation of the exhibition at the Tartu Art Museum is also included together with reproductions of the works by three contemporary artists who contemplate on the lost and the forgotten in our common past. The curators Šelda Puķīte and Indrek Grigor have written an essay as well as short portraits of all the thirteen artists included in the book.

The book Silver Girls. Retouched History of Photography is printed in three languages English, Estonian and Latvian.
