Gerhard Gäbler, originally trained as a chemist, turned to photography to document everyday life in the GDR, capturing the subtleties of East German society under Communist rule. His black and white photographs, often taken in the context of his professional duties, offer a nuanced and intimate view of daily life in East Germany during the 1980s. His work is held in collections such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the International Center of Photography, New York. – Corners slightly bumped, some light handling creases, otherwise in excellent condition.
