Description

German photographer Candida Höfer makes large-format photographs of empty interiors and social spaces that capture the “psychology of social architecture.” On this small volume, her photographs of libraries take care of their monumental feel. They’re sober and restrained, disturbed by neither visitors nor users, regardless that Höfer forgoes any staging of the locations. As Michael Kimmelman writes in The New York Times, “Ms. Höfer is a straight photographer whose humanity and improvisatory spirit come across if we are patient enough to realize the serendipity of her light, the subtlety of her color and the quiet, melancholy pleasure she turns out to soak up finding, as if almost by accident, poetry in institutional form.”
Born in 1944, German photographer Candida Höfer is a former student of Bernd and Hilla Becher’s on the Dusseldorf Art Academy. Her work was once recently seen at a one-person show on the ICA Philadelphia.
