The Most Beautiful Museum in the World
Text by Freddy Langer.
Frankfurt's New Old Town
Neo-Baroque and half-timbered romanticism in a city that thinks big, is growing upwards, and already seems to have the century-to-come in view? Hardly had the plans to recreate the bombed-out old city between the cathedral and the city hall of the Römer been drafted when the criticism began. And yet, today native Frankfurters cannot curb their enthusiasm. Around the Hühnermarkt, by now one of the most attractive squares in the city, a new world has grown, which with its pubs, stores, and even a barber shop has not only become a magnet for tourism. It is as if, next to a new heart, Frankfurt's centre city has also received a new soul. This lushly illustrated volume recounts the exciting history of the Römerberg, gives a summary of the various debates surrounding its reconstruction, and takes the reader along on a tour of one of the most beautiful and important buildings in the new district.
The Empire State Building
A collection of black-and-white photographs that document the construction of the Empire State Building, completed in 1931, with information about photographer Lewis W. Hine.
Benjamin Katz
»Man muss gesehen haben, wie Katz seine Bilder aufnimmt «, schreibt der FAZ-Journalist Freddy Langer in seinem Essay für den Ausstellungsband Benjamin Katz. »Mit vornehmer Zurückhaltung beobachtet er das Treiben, winkt mit einer kaum wahrnehmbaren Geste manchem Anwesenden zu, bisweilen lächelt er kurz, wackelt ein wenig fragend mit dem Kopf, und schon hat er seine Kamera unter dem Arm hervorgezogen. Für einen Moment nur blickt er durch den Sucher, löst aus und lässt den Apparat ebenso schnell wieder verschwinden, wie er ihn hervorgezaubert hat.

The Big Picture
- A unique perspective on the Grand Canyon in a large format photograph by noted German photographer Thomas Kellner - An accordian-style catalog presenting the work of art at an impressive 1.50m. and in the format 1:3.7. - Limited Edition German photographer Thomas Kellner is known for his mosaic-like photographs of world famous architecture and locales. In this project, created in the summer of 2014, he turns to one of the most breathtaking landscape motifs on earth: the Grand Canyon. Kellner photographed the subject from several perspectives, then reassembled the contact sheets in their original size to create an overall composition. The Big Picture was created using 60 35-mm. film rolls with 36 shots each, so 2160 pictures taken one after the other. The work of art is more than 4 meters wide. It is beautifully reproduced here in a 1:3.7 ratio in an accordion-style binding, which allows for a full appreciation of the impact of the original.
