The last published text of the late Vojtěch Lahoda, who died in March of 2019, was focused on Josef Sudek. The chapter “Josef Sudek – The Poet with a Camera / Josef Sudek – Básník s fotoaparátem” is part of a major and richly illustrated publication entitled Czech and Slovak Photo Publications, 1918–1989 / České a slovenské fotografické publikace, 1918–1989 (2018), prepared by the editor and collector of photographic books Manfred Heiting, in collaboration with the Steidl publishing house.

Between May 22–24, 2019, the Croatian State Archives will be hosting a conference on conservation entitled Capturing the Past: A Symposium on Photograph Conservation. The Sudek Project will be represented by Kateřina Doležalová who will contribute her lecture entitled "The Sudek Collection From a Conservator's Point of View."

In the most recent issue of the journal Umění/Art (2018/5), published by the Institute of Art History of the Czech Academy of Sciences, you can read an article by Hana Buddeus entitled Storing and/or Sharing: the Negative in the Commercial Work of Josef Sudek (published in English). The study focuses on the (unfortunately often neglected) phenomenon of the photographic negative, drawing specifically on Sudek’s examples.

It is with great sadness and grief that we inform you of the death of our dear Professor, PhDr. Vojtěch Lahoda, CSc., the head of the Sudek Project team, our admired teacher, inspiring colleague, and kind friend. He died on 18 March, 2019, one day after the 123rd anniversary of Josef Sudek’s birthday. For more information, please see the press release of the Institute of Art History of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and our facebook post.
