From Jindrich Styrsky: "On the Needles of These Days" Photographs, 1934–1935 at Ubu Gallery in New York. "...This - the inaugural exhibition of Ubu Gallery — consisted of a rare group of photographs by the Czech avant-garde artist, Jindrich Styrsky (1899-1942). These photographs were the basis for the artist’s surrealist masterpiece, On the Needles of These Days, published clandestinely in 1941 with original photographs and more widely in 1945 with gravure reproductions."
