Description
Once upon a time in Düsseldorf, in the 1970s, there was an astonishing art academy, the Kunstakademie, with amazing teachers, and amazing students. Düsseldorf was a very proud art city, and even published at the time, a book of photographs called Düsseldorf City of Artists. The presence of that great, messianic leader, Joseph Beuys loomed large. Gerhard Richter, (and Gotthard Graubner among others), taught painting, and an outstanding couple, Bernd and Hilla Becher, taught photography. Germany rejoined and even led the avant garde that it had destroyed in the 1930s.
The Bechers' own work, photographed in black and white series anonymous, industrial architecture. Included in this broad ranging retrospective of over 30 years of Thomas Struth's photography, is his own early series of city topographies, mostly unpeopled streets in the silvery light of early morning, which were first initiated several years before he was aware of the Bechers' work: zeitgeist, anyone? Struth indeed, initially thought to be a painter, and studied with Gerhard Richter, but then moved laterally to join the Bechers' small student group.
