Düsseldorf School

The compendium includes many international photographers of diff. groups & schools of 20th century (New Vision, Straight Photography, New Topographics, New Color, Becher School), collected by Gallery Kicken in Berlin to celebrate their 30's birthday.

The catalog accompanies the exhibition SUBJECT AND OBJECT. PHOTO RHINE RUHR and contains many illustrations, current texts and photo-historically significant articles. It examines relationships between different photographic positions that have developed.

In the volume 'Raum und Bild' (Space and Image), a dialog between applied & artistic photography unfolds from the comparison of images by Candida HÖFER with interiors from the over 150-year-old photography collection at the Museum für Fotografie in Berlin
