The Barbican Art Gallery in London is presenting a photo exhibit entitled “In the Face of History – European Photographers in the 20th Century,” featuring photos from the First World War to the Cold War, the sexual revolution to the Velvet Revolution and from communism to capitalism.

The photo exhibit features works by classic European photographers such as Eugène Atget, Josef Sudek and Brassaï , alongside contemporary artists such as Boris Mikhailov, Jitka Hanzlová and Wolfgang Tillmans.

The exhibition, which will be on view through January 28, also includes a number of photographers from the former Eastern bloc, with many works shown in the UK for the first time.
