Aglaya Glebova received a Graham Foundation Publication Award for her monograph, Aleksandr Rodchenko and Photography in the Age of Stalin (Yale University Press, forthcoming 2021), which  reexamines the alleged end of modernism in the 1930s Soviet Union through the photographic work of Aleksandr Rodchenko (1891–1956), a key figure in European interwar art.  Founded in 1956, the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts fosters the development and exchange of diverse and challenging ideas about architecture and its role in the arts, culture, and society. The Graham realizes this vision through making project-based grants to individuals and organizations and producing exhibitions, events, and publications.
