Anne Ganteführer-Trier Bücher

All of Candida Höfer’s editions in one book. Candida Höfer’s (b. Eberswalde, 1944) shots of deserted libraries, opera houses, concert halls, churches, and museums have made her a member of the international photographic avant-garde. One strand in her acclaimed oeuvre are editions—photographic prints in small formats issued in larger numbers—that Höfer produces to support institutions and art publishers. Gathered for the first time in this book, with an introductory essay by Anne Ganteführer-Trier, the around one hundred such editions she created between 1987 and 2020 offer a representative cross-section of Candida Höfer’s art. Candida Höfer studied in the first photography class of Bernd Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Her works have been exhibited at documenta 11 and in 2003 she represented Germany at the 50th Biennale di Venezia alongside Martin Kippenberger.

Der Kubismus knüpft als Kunstrichtung an die nachimpressionistische Malerei an und enstand 1907 in Paris. Cézannes Ausspruch, alles in der Natur wäre auf die geometrischen Formen Kubus, Kugel, Zylinder und Kegel zurückzuführen, wurde zum Leitsatz dieses Kunststils.
