Cult figure Che Guevara’s photos displayed in Austria

VIENNA, Austria -- A collection of vintage Ernesto “Che” Guevara photographs went on display at an Austrian gallery Tuesday, showing diverse sides of the revolutionary who still has cult status 40 years after his death.

The iconic March 1960 portrait by Cuban photographer Alberto Korda showing Guevara wearing a starred beret, and which is frequently featured on T-shirts and posters, is among the roughly 150 prints on exhibit at Vienna’s WestLicht gallery.
