Müritz-DDR. 1956. Gelatin silver print, printed 1980s. 28 x 38,8 cm. Signed in ink and stamped by the photographer on the verso.

Arno Fischer’s documentary photographs of East and West Berlin from the 1950s-1960s offer a nuanced view of the city during a period of division and transformation. Marked by observational clarity and a sensitivity to everyday life, they capture both the challenges and resilience of its inhabitants and function as both historical records and autonomous works of art. One of Fischer’s most iconic images, this print bears an older letter stamp on the verso indicating an earlier print date.
