A Class of Their Own
The pioneer group of the Düsseldorf School The ‘Düsseldorf School’ has become a household name in the art world for one of the most successful and influential strains of modern photography. Coined in the late 1980s, the name refers mainly to the pioneer group of students of the late Bernd Becher, who in 1976 became the first professor for creative photography at a German arts academy. His students included Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Thomas Ruff, and Thomas Struth, all of them today internationally acclaimed artists in their own right. Whereas ‘Düsseldorf School’ initially was used as a handy term for a group of artists with the same university’s background, it quickly turned into a powerful brand name both in critical and commercial contexts. Despite its welcomed impact on the art scene, the members of the ‘School’ felt rather ambiguous about their perception as a group which turned them into stars but simultaneously risked levelling individual profiles and differences. What exactly connects and distinguishes them aesthetically is for the first time thoroughly explored in Maren Polte’s pioneering study.

Sammler und Museen
In Form von Dauerleihgaben, Schenkungen, Vermächtnissen von Todes wegen oder individualisierten Kooperationsverträgen werden Kooperationen zwischen Privatsammlern und öffentlichen Museen geschlossen. Diese Kooperationsformen sind mit verschiedenen Interessen der Partner verbunden, die anhand von Beispielen aus der Museumspraxis verdeutlicht werden. Für eine Zusammenarbeit stellt eine Checkliste die zu beachtenden Kernfragen einer Kooperation zusammen. Die Empfehlungsvorschläge bieten ein erstes Gerüst für Kooperationen, um auf faire Weise das gemeinsame Ziel einer Einbindung einer zeitgenössischen Sammlung in einen öffentlichen Museumsbetrieb zu erreichen.

Artist/author
from fanzines to books of visual poetry, sketchbooks to illustrated books, commercial fashion catalogs to photo albums. Defined loosely as a book done by an artist, which is itself a work of art, an "artist's book" is an idea that goes back to the time of illuminated manuscripts. Departing from that tradition however, which ended with the development in the 19th century of the livre de luxe, artists since the 1960's have attempted radical approaches to the book as autonomous art form. Spurred on in recent times by the advent of desktop publishing, this phenomena has continued to grow. This book features numerous examples, as well as informative text, and is sure to delight both bibliophiles and art lovers alike.
Reconstructing Space
Published to accompany an exhibition held at the Architectural Association, London, from 19 April to 22 May 1999.
Northern Light
These essays confirm the continued relevance of 'north' as a site of cultural practice and artistic endeavour. If northern regions are tangible realities, the place of varied topography, light, climate, and biogeography, the location of distinct peoples and culture, typically they have been depicted through the traditions of northern landscape representation and the cultural narratives of an era. These discussions - focusing on Scotland, Northern England, Northern Europe, Siberia, the Arctic and Nordic lands - by photographic practitioners as well as theorists, explore and question this tradition, considering landscape as experience, reinterpreting notions of wilderness, emptiness and the sublime.
