Kim Sichel's book is a comprehensive examination of the life and work of Germaine Krull, an influential photographer whose career spanned the 20th century and four continents. The book coincides with a major retrospective exhibition, showcasing Krull's diverse portfolio from avant-garde montages to commercial photography. Sichel explores Krull's complex life filled with political upheaval, shifting geographies, and varied allegiances, from Munich to Moscow, eventually retreating to India. Krull's work, often compared to Man Ray and André Kertesz, is reevaluated through her autobiographical writings, solidifying her impact on modernism and photography. The exhibition traveled through Germany, the U.S., the Netherlands, and France in 1999-2000.
