Hannover, ,

Ann and Jürgen Wilde's photographic
collection has been on permanent loan to
the Sprengel Museum Hannover since
1992. The collection comprises some
1,500 photographs by 49 photographers.
Mechanism and Expression - 20th century
photography, was first presented in its
entirety and with an extensive catalogue to
a wide audience at the Sprengel Museum
Hannover in 1999. Following the exhibition
in Hannover, the show will move on to the
Fundacio 'la caixa' in Barcelona. The third
presentation of the collection will follow in
the Kunstmuseum Bonn, opening on 27
September, 2000.
Twenty-seven original photographs from
this collection now belong to the Sprengel
Museum Hannover. Ann and Jürgen Wilde
donated these works as a special 'thanks
for the fruitful collaboration over the years
and especially for the production and
organisation of the Mechanism and
Expression exhibition and the catalogue
thereof.' Ann and Jürgen Wilde's donations
to the Sprengel Museum Hannover include
original photographic prints by Bernd and
Hilla Becher, Karl Blossfeldt, Alfred
Ehrhardt and Albert Renger-Patzsch.
The official ceremony marking this
donation took place on 6. August,2000
and a presentation of the collection by
Professor Ulrich Krempel opened the
event, which Ann and Jürgen Wilde
attended. The donated works will be on
view until 2 January, 2001 in the
Photographic Arts Gallery on the
museum's lower level.
The works which will be presented include
3 botanical images by Karl Blossfeldt, a
study of 4 gas containers by Hilla and
Bernd Becher, 10 nature studies taken in
the Kuri Nehrung by Alfred Ehrhardt as well
as ten prints from the 'Halligen Sea' series
by Alfred Renger-Patzsch. This group of
original photographs can be seen to
epitomise the tradition of representational,
object-based compositions which
dominated 20th-century German
photography.
