Heinz Hajek-Halke: 12 Reprints aus den Jahren 1927-1960. 1927-60. 10 gelatin silver prints, printed 1978. Each circa 34 x 27 cm (40,5 x 30,5 cm). Each signed and numbered "15/28" by the photographer in pencil below the image in the margin. Presented in original grey clamshell box (traces of use, edges rubbed) with printed colophon.
Active during the early to mid-20th century, German photographer Heinz Hajek-Halke was a true innovator, known for his imaginative and surreal compositions. His work often incorporated multiple exposures, photomontage, and innovative darkroom techniques to create visually striking and thought-provoking images. He explored themes of abstraction, motion, and the intersection of reality and dreams, pushing the boundaries of traditional photography.
A very attractive set of prints published as a portfolio on the occasion of Hajek-Halke's 80th birthday and the retrospective exhibition at Galerie Werner Kunze in Berlin. The selection shows the vast range of Hajek-Halke's complex work including the following images: Der Gassenhauer"(1927); Spiegelakt (1933); Stehender Akt (1933); Liegender Akt (late 1920s); Die üble Nachrede (1932); Vorschlag für eine Werbeaufnahme (1935); Friedhof der Fische (1939); Weibliche Impression (1938); Gläsernes Monument (1946); Der Gong (1960); Leichte Dünung (1956) and Windrosen (1956).
– Several prints with buckling and fold marks along edges, two prints ("Der Gassenhauer" and "Die üble Nachrede") with discoloring, otherwise in very good condition.
