The Heartbeat of Fashion
Works from the F. C. Gundlach Collection
This book presents photographs, from the viewpoint of the Collector, from the F. C. Gundlach Collection from 1860 right up to 2006, and so illuminates the changing role of witness of the medium of photography.
The exhibition focuses on photography that reflects the image of people through their external appearance: fashions, poses, facial expression and gestures. The Collection gives ‘fashion’ the definition of zeitgeist; this means that non fashion-photography must also be taken into consideration, that this also plays the role of witness.
Included are more than 350 works by famous photographers, such as Regina Relang, Richard Avedon, Robert Mapplethorpe, Herlinde Koelbl, David LaChapelle, Peter Lindbergh and Wolfgang Tillmans. The collector himself has written the preface.
