With more than 100 great lots from my personal collection and from recent acquisitions. Jochim Brohm, who is also famous for 'Kray' recorded the decline of the surroundings of the Ruhr. Joachim Brohm’s photographic series Ruhr documents the German Ruhr area during its industrial decline from the late 1970s to the mid-80s. With this work Brohm became one of the first to engage with the issues raised by American photography – the landscape photography of the nineteenth century and the topographical photography from 1970 onwards – and transport them into a European context. Ruhr is an integral link between USA and European photography and its special significance is revealed with this first complete monograph. This is a lot by 5Uhr30.com (Ecki Heuser, Cologne, Germany).
