Object history | This is the first print of the third portfolio: Fotogramme 1922-1926. The edition number is the same – 30/50 as the previous two sets, and the photographs are printed and published in the same way. Moholy-Nagy invented the word Photogram to describe prints made by placing objects or the shadows of objects directly on to photographic paper and then printing the results: thus these photograms are reproductions of a single original in each case, as with the collages in the first portfolio. |
