From “Projects: Done,” the Candida Höfer show at Museum Morsbroich.
The Museum Morsbroich is currently showing 14 projects by the photographer Candida Höfer. “Projects: Done” will draw from both famous series by the artist, including “Twelve” (2001), and relatively unknown work, like the 1973 photographic collection “Flipper.” The show runs through August 2.

“Projects: Done” spans four decades of Höfer’s photography. Featuring works completed between 1968 and 2008, the exhibition was curated by Markus Heinzelmann and Doreen Mende, who focus on the “interplay between photography, architecture, and presentation.” Accordingly, Höfer completed the photographic displays in close collaboration with architect Kuehn Malvezzi.
