Bell Telephone Exhibit – New York World’s Fair, (Operators 1-19), 1939

WORK FORCE
Bill Hunt is one of today’s best photography collectors. For the first time he is exhibiting this recently compiled treasure of photos on American industrial companies.
The photos are spectacular by their size, the sheer numbers of the people pictured here and the prodigious staging of such blatantly displayed power.
This practice is quite specific to the United States. It is hard to imagine the cinematographic organisational skill that was necessary to stage each one of these gigantic photos.

Location
Santa Maria della Vita
Via Clavature, 8 – Bologna
The Santa Maria della Vita complex is one of Bologna’s most important monuments. The church contains the famous sculptural group by Niccolò dell’Arca, the Lamentation of Christ, a work crucial to sculpture and art history. The Oratory, which hosts the Biennial exhibition, holds another major sculptural group, the Death of the Virgin by Alfonso Lombardi.
