MICHAEL SCHMIDT | Berlin Nach 1945
- Description
- Details
Alternative street photography that invites you to linger, to trace the transformation of a Berlin still bearing the scars of World War II, yet pulsating with resilience.
54 black & white plates by Schmidt of an empty and ruined Berlin taken in 1980. Schmidt documents wide open urban spaces voided of activity, ideas, people, and buildings. Scarce cloth-covered hardcover in slipcase.
A pristine book. Slipcase has minimal toning and wear. Fine condition book in near fine case.
"Michael Schmidt's photographs have always focused on his hometown of Berlin especially in book format--a fundamental element of his work. One of his most important bodies of work about Berlin, Berlin Nach 1945, has never before been published as a whole. It is particularly significant at this time, given the extreme urban, social, artistic and general developmental changes Berlin has undergone in recent years. This series documents a place which, as recently as 1980, was still very much marred by World War II, and provides an impressive visual record of a city in a state of flux." - form the publisher.
