Signed and numbered on the back // Bahnhof Stadelhofen Zurich by Candida Höfer, captured in 1991, is a striking architectural photograph showcasing the unique, flowing concrete forms of Zurich’s Stadelhofen train station. The image captures the station’s modernist, almost sculptural architecture, with its sweeping curves and structural elements that convey both strength and elegance. Höfer’s composition emphasizes symmetry and spatial depth, drawing attention to the play of light and shadow on the smooth concrete surfaces. The subdued lighting and empty space add an atmosphere of quiet introspection, characteristic of Höfer’s work, which often explores the interaction between architecture and the absence of human presence. This photograph invites viewers to appreciate the beauty in urban infrastructure and the artistry within functional spaces.
