From Merce Cunningham Dance Company: 50th Anniversary - Chromogenic print - Signed, numbered and dated // Candida Höfer’s Theatre Municipal Calais II (2001) is a chromogenic print that offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes spaces of an ornate theater. The photograph captures the back of the stage area, with long, heavy curtains in deep blue and red hanging in parallel, creating a sense of depth and rhythm. The juxtaposition of the richly adorned golden architectural details with the more utilitarian backstage elements evokes a contrast between the theatrical illusion and its reality. Höfer’s meticulous composition and use of lighting highlight the interplay of space and texture, offering a contemplative view of the structure and its dualities. This limited edition print is signed, numbered, and dated by the artist.

What is the Dusseldorf school of photography?
The Düsseldorf School of Photography refers to a group of photographers who studied under Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf during the 1970s. This group was known for its devotion to the black-and-white industrial images characteristic of the German tradition known as New Objectivity. The photographers focused on precise, methodical documentation of industrial structures, often using a detached and objective approach.
