Out-of-print book 'Autos' by Bernhard FUCHS gives the photographs the apparent character of general pictorial plates, but on closer inspection they reveal themselves to be sensitive recordings of everyday situations and individual portraits of vehicles.

This photo volume, 'Bunt: Farbige 1970er Jahre' (Colored. Colorful 1970s) by early BECHER student Volker DÖHNE, shows photographs of colorful cars in groups as well as stand-alone gazebos. The book is rounded off by a German-language introductory text.

G/French. Following the concept of typology and comparative vision, the 61 b/w photos of this German-French re-issue capture the entire spectrum of BECHER’s encyclopedia of industrial buildings in a representative manner and in characteristic 'portraits'.

One of the last master students of Bernd and Hilla BECHER, published his first conceptual work, the portrait of the small lower saxonian city in which he once grew up, on newspaper paper - nine years before publication in photo book format.

The selection of images made for this out-of-print catalog volume of the Andreas GURSKY exhibition in Baden-Baden focuses on the immanent moment for the construction and reconstruction of reality.

The series from 1989 is the artist's first conceptual work in which he grapples with his hometown. In keeping with the tradition of the BECHER school, his photographs show a sober documentary and sometimes humorous view of the small town in Lower Saxony.

The photographic volume 'Berlin. Wilhelmstrasse 44' by Candida HÖFER deals with an icon of 'architecture brute', which was built in the middle of the 1970s in the former GDR and is now shared by the Embassy of the Czech Republic and a Max Planck Institute

'Industrielandschaften' by Bernd & Hilla BECHER is a novelty: For the first time, your view of the whole opens up, including the settlement and residential buildings of the workers. The systems are presented in context and thus receive a narrative element

The catalog for Thomas STRUTH retrospective provides information about his artistic development: from the first series 'Unconscious Places' to 'Nature and Politics', which deals with research and globalization, as well as early works and archive material.
