The magazine 'Die Form', which was published between 1903 and 1930, was an important avant-garde publication dedicated to promoting modern art and architecture and disseminating experimental approaches.

The term avant-garde is used when an artist takes an innovative and experimental approach to one aspect of their art. The avant-garde in photography takes a critical stance towards existing aesthetic views. It is important to understand that avant-garde refers to an artistic movement that challenges existing aesthetic norms and seeks new forms of expression. 5Uhr30.com says MANY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT THIS YEAR - making our single-seller photobook auctions on Catawiki so successful.
