Description
"WEIMAR" – LIMITED EDITIONPhotography by Candida HöferPublished by Schirmer/Mosel, Munich, 2007LIMITED to 100 Copies, First Edition, Hardcover, SIGNED printGerman photographer Candid Höfer—a student of the Bechers at the Düsseldorf Academy and a contemporary of Gursky, Struth, and Hutte—has been concentrating consistently on public interior spaces for decades now. From the Museum of Contemporary Photography website: "…she uses her camera to note repeated forms within public spaces such as furniture, lighting fixtures, ceiling or floor tiles, chairs, and tables, creating patterns and a sense of orderliness. Höfer also often emphasizes the ironic by drawing the viewer’s attention to things out of place." From the publisher: "In her forthcoming publication, Candida Höfer presents photographs of famous interior rooms in the city of Weimar, one of the big cultural sites of Germany, where Goethe and Schiller lived in the late 18th century and the Bauhaus was founded in 1919. Sites featured in her book include, among others, the Anna Amalia Library, the Goethe National Museum and the residential Palace."The book features essays in English by Gerda Wendermann and Wulf Kirsten, and it was published to coincide with the 2007-2008 exhibitions at the Neues Museum, Weimar, and Stiftung Schloss und Park, Benrath.NEW, LIMITED EDITION of 100 COPIES with SIGNED PRINT.
