The German photographer Marta Hoepffner developed her innovative Farbinterferenzbilder (color interference images) from the mid-1960s onward. These experiments investigate the optical properties of polarized light through layered, geometric compositions. Informed by Bauhaus principles and the aesthetics of the New Vision movement, her work represents a distinctive synthesis of scientific inquiry and visual abstraction. Her striking images position Hoepffner as a significant figure in postwar kinetic and light-based art. – A few light surface scuff marks, more visible in raking light, small backed paper loss in upper edge, otherwise in very good condition.
