One of the greatest books on the subject of architecture and photography i recently added to my inventory. It is the 2001 publication by the Museum Folkwang /Steidl.

The Steidl publishing company stand for the best photography books in the world and this is no exception. The book  is a beautiful printed documentary on the best architectural photographs in the world and all come from the Folkwang collection. Over 168 you will find the best. Friedlander, Becher, Aiget, Hausser, Sander and Callahan ao.

Ole Aselmann (1979) .. a special project

Schermafbeelding 2018-05-28 om 15.43.13

Because i fencountered a publication by Aselmann, i was intrigued by his work. The book is a documentation of the “vom Wesen der Erbse” project which was held in the Kunsthaus Essen in 2009. The site of Aselmann gives a great overview of the project, but the book itself was published like a true artist books with rounde corners and sketches on all 130 pages of the VOM WESEN DER ERBSE  project. A special book , which , i am sure, will become more important in the time to come. The book is available at www.ftn-books.com.
