The Düsseldorf School of Photography

The Düsseldorf School of Photography

The German photographic movement commonly known as the DÃ¼sseldorf School of Photography has become synonymous with artistic excellence and innovation. It began in the mid-1970s at the Kunstakademie DÃ¼sseldorf, under the instruction of the photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher, known for their comparative grids of mundane industrial buildings captured with an objective and clinical eye. This school has not only birthed some of today's most important and successful photographers, but has also had a fundamental and lasting influence on the history of the medium. The DÃ¼sseldorf School of Photography presents over 160 images in a spectacular overview of the breadth of the DÃ¼sseldorf School from the early 1970s to today. This impeccable survey is filled with superb reproductions of the best-known photographs by three generations of key DÃ¼sseldorf artists: Bernd and Hilla Becher, Laurenz Berges, Elger Esser, Andreas Gursky, Candida HÃ¶fer, Axel HÃ¼tte, Simone Nieweg, Thomas Ruff, JÃ¶rg Sasse, Thomas Struth and Petra Wunderlich. With a scholarly text, extensive artist bios and a plate section dedicated to each of these artists, The DÃ¼sseldorf School of Photography offers the first comprehensive assessment of this important photographic movementâ€•one that dominates the salesrooms and museums of our times.
