Includes a brief biography, list of monographs and exhibition history. Also includes an illustrated list of panels installed in the hospital rooms (39 four-color panels with 2-4 images each). - From the publisher: "A central figure of the new wave of German photography, Thomas Struth has continued to impact the world of photography with his large-scale museum interiors, portraits and architectural photography. This new monograph presents another facet of Struth's oeuvre, assembling a series of flower photographs produced for a unique project. In 1991, Struth was commissioned to decorate a new hospital in Winterthur, Switzerland. He decided to produce two flower photographs and a landscape for each of the 37 sickrooms. Beautifully reproduced here, these pictures brilliantly and colorfully sunthesize a tradition of landscape photography that includes Edward Weston, Walker Evans and August Sander with the tradition of 19th century flower and landscape painting.
