Candida Höfer: Liechtenstein

Hardcover Monograph / Exhibition Catalogue German 148 pages 27 x 27.5 cm 1.24 kg

Description

Candida Höfer’s photographic strategy in Liechtenstein centers on silent and meticulously composed interiors that reveal the cultural and architectural landscape of the principality. Her images explore themes of space, order, and stillness, emphasizing the formal qualities of light and structure within public and institutional environments.

The book, published by Hatje Cantz in 2023, comprises 148 pages of high-resolution color photographs that capture a contemplative mood. Höfer’s approach remains consistent with her practice of presenting unpopulated interiors, allowing the viewer to engage deeply with the atmosphere and design elements inherent in Liechtenstein’s built environment.

Candida Höfer: Liechtenstein

The exhibition Candida Höfer: Liechtenstein was held at Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein from September 30, 2022, to April 10, 2023. It featured large format photographs taken by Candida Höfer in Liechtenstein during 2021, showcasing interior and exterior views of museums, libraries, and storerooms. Known for her objective and detailed visual style, Höfer’s work uses natural lighting without artificial spotlights, resulting in carefully planned, long-exposure images. The exhibition was the first to span all four top-lit rooms of the Kunstmuseum and the Hilti Art Foundation’s three exhibition spaces, juxtaposing Höfer’s photographs with artworks from classical modernism to contemporary art for a dialogue between genres.
