Der rote Bulli

Sinopse

The focus of the NRW-Forum exhibition is on Stephen Shore, a key figure in the US New Color Photography movement.The first part of the exhibition, which is based on the New York Aperture Foundation's Biographical Landscape retrospective, will provide a comprehensive overview of Shore's ground-breaking work in the 1970s and 1980s. From an early stage, the work of the US New Color Photography movement influenced the students on Bernd Becher's photography course at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, a course which was created in 1976. The second part of the exhibition will explore the innovative motifs that Becher's class developed in the exciting area between their own photographic tradition and that of the US tradition.
