Viera Levitt: BEAUTY IN THE BEAST Photography of Brutalist Architecture July 28 th – September 1 st , 2012   Hera Gallery is pleased to present "Beauty in the Beast: Photography of Brutalist Architecture", a solo exhibition of works by Viera Levitt from July 28th through September 1st, 2012.

In this solo exhibition, Viera Levitt continues her exploration of this overlooked style, derived initially from the ideas of Le Corbusier
