Candida Hofer - Editions 1987-2020

All of Candida Hoefer’s editions in one book. Candida Hoefer’s (b. Eberswalde, 1944) shots of deserted libraries, opera houses, concert halls, churches, and museums have made her a member of the international photographic avant-garde. One strand in her acclaimed oeuvre are editions–photographic prints in small formats issued in larger numbers–that Hoefer produces to support institutions and art publishers. Gathered for the first time in this book, with an introductory essay by Anne Gantefuhrer-Trier, the around one hundred such editions she created between 1987 and 2020 offer a representative cross-section of Candida Hoefer’s art. Candida Hoefer studied in the first photography class of Bernd Becher at the Kunstakademie Dusseldorf. Her works have been exhibited at documenta 11 and in 2003 she represented Germany at the 50th Biennale di Venezia alongside Martin Kippenberger.
