Biographies

'It is as it is' shows numerous letters, photos & documents, as well as pictures from the time when Gerhard RICHTER's early work in Dresden ended with his flight from the GDR in 1961 and his official work in the West was not to begin until the end of 1962

'Josef Koudelka. Next: A Visual Biography' by Melissa Harris - not a photo volume - is the definitive and only authorized biography of Josef KOUDELKA, an intimate portrait of the life and work of one of photography’s most renowned and celebrated artists.

'Silent Spaces' is accompanied a film by Rui Xavier which shows Candida HÖFER taking photographs, working and preparing exhibitions in locations. A dense, empathetic portrait of the artist which, relying on its own visual language, manages without words.

For his biographical book 'Phlippe Halsman. A Photographer's Life', Henry Leutwyler explores the meaning inherent in inanimate objects. To do this, he photographed objects from Halsman's possessions - cameras, eyeglasses, as well as a series of letters.
