Candida Höfer: Turks in Germany 1979

Presented by Harvard Art Museums at Harvard Art Museums, Cambridge MA

Sep 25 2019

A rare artistic reflection on changing social & cultural landscapes

Renowned artist Candida Höfer (b. 1944) is best known for her large-format photographs of vacant, sober, and highly detailed interiors. One of her earliest series, however, focused on “guest workers” who joined West Germany’s labor force after World War II. In this lecture, the artist will discuss the photographic series, titled Turks in Germany 1979. The work is featured in our current special exhibition Crossing Lines, Constructing Home: Displacement and Belonging in Contemporary Art.
