GREAT DDR/GDR NUDE PHOTOBOOK by Gerhard Vetter - beside Günter Rössler and Klaus Fischer one of the BEST NUDE PHOTOGRAPHERS from the DDR/GDR. WITH THE ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET. In the GDR, nudity - especially through the Freikörperkultur (FKK, or “free body culture”) - had an ambivalent but generally positive significance: it was officially promoted as health-enhancing and connected to nature, provided a degree of private freedom away from state control, and became a mass phenomenon representing a form of socialist nonconformity that differed from West German FKK culture. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PHOTOBOOK AUCTION ON CATAWIKI - dedicated entirely to the world of the former "DDR"/"GDR" ("GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC" or "EAST GERMANY") which existed from 1949 to 1990. Still largely undiscovered and unexplored, this field offers a wealth of fascinating discoveries for collectors. 5Uhr30.com presents exceptional works by renowned and emerging artists, survey works, compelling monographs, as well as extraordinarily rare small vintage catalogues, vintage children’s books and vintage factory photobooks; signed publications, posters, and much more.
