Steidlville

An exhibition of works from Robert Adams' Gone? will be on show at the Fraenkel Gallery from 11 March, 2010.

Robert Adams began by photographing suburban landscapes along the edge of the Rocky Mountains. His goal was then, and remains, to acknowledge the disappearance of wilderness but also to discover a basis for affirmation. In the 1980s he went on to revisit semi-rural areas through which he had walked as a boy – landscapes no longer pristine but still notable for their quiet, space and light. The views in this book, none published before, record some of what he found compelling.

A significant overview of Roni Horn's work to date, showing the full range of her practice as a photographer, draughtsman, installation artist and writer.

Political Pictures. Soviet photographs 1918-1941. The Daniela Mrazkowa Collection

In April 2008 Museum Ludwig – with the help of the State Government of NRW, the Kulturstiftung der Länder, the Kunststiftung NRW and the City of Cologne – succeeded in aquiring the Daniela Mrazkowa Collection. The collection comprises 234 works by the foremost Soviet photographers of the pre-war era. It brings together a broad range of the photographic currents of that time, while giving an outstanding overview of documentary photography and photojournalism in the Soviet Union. The range spans portraits of the intellectual heroes of the Soviet Union in the Pictoralist style of Nappelbaum and Sterenberg, Constructivist photography by for instance Ignatowitsch and Rodchenko, who focused on architecture and industrial innovations, and depictions of workers and the rural populace in the Socialist Realist style adopted by Zelma und Alpert.
