Lot Essay

Candida Höfer's work attempts to capture the 'psychology' of social architecture by focusing on empty interiors and social spaces. Her images are either taken front on or seek a diagonal in their composition, as illustrated in this work. Normally shooting in large-format, this smaller edition print is a strong example of her work and is perfect for the collector who is looking for imagery they can hang in their home.
