 Candida Höfer: Architecture of Absence
October 1, 2005–January 1, 2006
Candida Höfer: Architecture of Absence, is the first North American survey exhibition devoted to this celebrated German artist.
Over the last thirty years, Candida Höfer has created meticulously composed images of the interiors of public and institutional spaces—spaces marked with the richness of human activity, yet devoid of human presence. The fifty large-scale chromogenic prints in the exhibition embrace the full spectrum of Höfer's illustrious career with an emphasis on recent work.
All works have been borrowed directly from the artist's studio and her gallery in Cologne, offering a unique opportunity to present new projects that are currently in progress, as well as iconic works retained by the artist that have never been shown in the United States.
The exhibition catalogue, with an essay by Virginia Heckert, the Norton's William and Sarah Ross Soter Curator of Photography, is the first major English-language publication on Höfer's work, published by Aperture. | |
