The German photographer Candida Höfer is renowned for her meticulously composed, large-scale color photographs of public and institutional interiors. Her work captures the psychological and aesthetic dimensions of spaces such as libraries, museums, theaters, and zoological gardens, often devoid of human presence. By focusing on the architecture and design of these environments, Höfer invites viewers to contemplate the cultural and historical significance embedded within these spaces. – Buckled in upper right corner from mounting, mostly in margin, otherwise in very good condition.
