"Drei in der U-Bahn". 1985. Vintage gelatin silver print. 30 x 39,5 cm. Titled (U-Bahn), dated and signed by the photographer in ink and signed by Lutz Rathenow in ink in lower margin.
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the legendary work "Ost-Berlin," Jaron Verlag published a highly acclaimed new edition of the book in 2017. To complement this, a series of postcards was published in book form, also entitled "Ost-Berlin”. It contains 15 of the best motifs, which photographer Harald Hauswald, together with writer Lutz Rathenow (who also signed this photo), used to create "a monument of a different kind to Ost-Berlin" (according to historian Ilko-Sascha Kowalczuk) in 1987. The image offered here is on the cover, perhaps Hauswald's best-known photo from those years: "Drei in der U-Bahn". – Slight buckling in side edges, creases in lower margin and left edge, scuff marks in lower right, otherwise a strong print in good condition.

From East Berlin, Sven Marquardt started his training as a photographer and cameraman at the DEFA studios. After his first publications in the magazines Sonntag and Das Magazin from 1985-1986, he was the assistant of Rudolf Schäfer. He worked as a fashion photographer until the late 1980s for Sibylle together with Roger Melis and Arno Fischer, and he became known for documenting the subculture of the GDR. After the reunification of Germany, he stopped photographing for a period and worked as a bouncer at the Berlin club Berghain, where he soon became a symbolic figure of the club culture. His work has been featured in several exhibitions, and he continues to photograph today. – Crease in upper right, handling dent lower left, stain in upper and lower edge.
