Photography star honoured

One of the most influential photographers of the 20th century will be celebrated this spring in an exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art.

August Sander is best known for his lifelong effort to document the German people, photographing individuals and classifying the resulting portraits into groups defined by the sitters' occupations, trades or places in society.

The major exhibition will represent a comprehensive overview of Sander's life.

The exhibition will run at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art from February 12 to July 10.
