Publications: artist monographs

Candida Höfer created a new series of works in Liechtenstein in autumn and winter 2021. It forms the starting point and the focus of the first exhibition conceived jointly by Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein and the Hilti Art Foundation. The publication documents this group of twenty photographs, which reflect her ongoing exploration of scenes of cultural life and architecture. A production diary, in the form of a collage of emails, text messages and notes by those involved in the project, affords an insight into the various processes, from the initial idea for the show to the final selection of works. Another section documents the exhibition itself, including selected works from classical modernism to the present from the collections of both institutions.

Candida Höfer (* 1944 in Eberswalde, Germany) is among the most important representatives of the Düsseldorf School of Photography associated with Bernd and Hilla Becher. Her works are in international collections and have been exhibited widely and worldwide, including the documenta 11, 2002. Höfer lives and works in Cologne.
