SHUNK-KENDER

About the photo artists Harry SHUNK (1924-2006) and János KENDER (1938-2009)

The German photographer Harry SHUNK and his Hungarian partner János KENDER produced some of the most iconic images of postwar European and American art. In 2013, the Museum of Modern Art acquired over 600 works from the SHUNK-KENDER Photography Collection as a gift of the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation. This donation established a consortium across five institutions--the Getty Research Institute, the National Gallery of Art, Centre Pompidou, Tate and MoMA--that together received the full SHUNK-KENDER archive.
