From Ansel Adams to Piet Zwart
The photography handbook, backed by a major museum, offers characteristic examples of photographic art from the 20th century. The more than 750 pages will keep you flipping through them for hours with enthusiasm.
The history of photography began over 180 years ago, but it has only been recognized as a fully-fledged artistic medium for a relatively short time. The Museum Ludwig in Cologne was one of the first contemporary art museums to give significant space to international photography. The L. Fritz Gruber collection, from which this book is derived, is one of the most important in Germany. Its enormous versatility, combined with consistently high quality, makes it a true treasure.
This book provides a fascinating insight into the diversity of the collection. From conceptual art to abstraction to reportage, all movements and genres are represented in this selection, including many of the most remarkable photographs of the century. 850 works are presented in alphabetical order, from Ansel Adams to Piet Zwart. Together with the explanatory texts and biographical details, this creates a comprehensive panorama of photographic history.
Published by Museum Ludwig, Cologne. With texts by Reinhold Misselbeck, Marianne Bieger-Thielemann, Gérard A. Goodrow, Lilian Haberer, Ute Pröllochs, Anke Solbrig, Thomas von Taschitzki, and Nina Zschocke.
