Architecture Photography Klaus Kinold Jan. 23 – Sep. 15, 2001 In his field Klaus Kinold is one of the major, most sought-after protagonists in the international arena. His photographs document the most important examples of 20th century architecture. It includes Modernist and post-Modernist buildings, from Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, and Le Corbuiser to Egon Eiermann, Hans Döllgast, Carlo Scarpa, Frank O. Gehry, James Stirling, Tadao Ando, and Herzog and de Meuron… Nowadays there can be many sides to architecture photography. Klaus Kinold, however, is indebted to the classic genre, which serves the task at hand and is of the highest quality. The photograph's aesthetics is determined by the building itself. Klaus Kinold's aim is to present architecture just as it is, no more, no less: instead of visual interpretation the greatest possible degree of clarity and objectivity. Because good architecture can stand up to good photography. The Neue Sammlung in Munich is devoting two rooms of Design Collection in the Neues Museum in Nuremberg explicitly to photography, primarily to the form of photography that features a product, but also one that reflects the manner in which classical and contemporary architecture is received. For as long as the Munich museum, which owes its founding, among other things, to the reform aspirations of the Werkbund movement has existed, architecture in all facets has been a mainstay of its exhibition themes. Photography has at all times gone hand in hand with architecture – not by chance did the beginnings of the medium feature a photograph of architecture – and as such reveals positions in design in the 20th century. Number of exhibits: approx. 50 Opening hours:
