Candida Höfer

Libraries


  • Schirmer/ Mosel
  • by Candida Höfer & Umberto Eco
Libraries are a book publisher's dream. Since nobody photographs libraries as beautifully as Höfer, it seemed only natural to dedicate one of her publications to the splendid and intimate cathedrals of knowledge across Europe and the US: the Escorial in Spain, the Whitney Museum in New York, Villa Medici in Rome, the Hamburg University library, the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, the Museo Archeólogico in Madrid, and Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, to name just a few.

Description

Libraries are a book publisher’s dream. Since nobody photographs libraries as beautifully as Höfer, it seemed only natural to dedicate one of her publications to the splendid and intimate cathedrals of knowledge across Europe and the US: the Escorial in Spain, the Whitney Museum in New York, Villa Medici in Rome, the Hamburg University library, the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, the Museo Archeólogico in Madrid, and Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, to name just a few. Almost completely devoid of people, as is Candida Höfer’s trademark, these pictures radiate a comforting serenity that is exceptional in contemporary photography. Now available in an unchanged reprint.
