Overview

For over four decades, Barbara Klemm's impressive black and white photographs for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung shaped the collective image of post-war German politics and culture. Her photographs – ranging from iconic moments during the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to haunting portraits of political greats such as Willy Brandt – are far more than just documents of contemporary history. Her unique perspective lent an aura to historical events and people that still resonates today. This book collects together her most important photographs and so demonstrates why Barbara Klemm is regarded as one of Germany's most important contemporary photographers. It offers an outstanding visual testimony to the country's history, captured in images that will endure.
