Today, his early work is widely recognized as a subtly formulated critique of social conditions in the GDR and one of the most important photographic records of the socialist state. Since the 1990s, he has expanded his practice to focus on the memory landscape of reunified Germany and the transformations of both city and countryside, particularly the villages and farming culture of Uckermark and other rural regions. In this first monograph on W?t, Van Zante provides a context for his work in American and German urban photography and photography of place. Over 200 photographs are published here, many for the first time, including a selection of W?t's distinctive leporellos of titled series. An interview with the photographer and an exhibition and publishing history are included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGary Van Zante\u003c\/b\u003e is curator of the photography, design and architecture collections at the MIT Museum, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrich Wust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3735605842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783735605849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kerber Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.50w x 1.20d","brand":"Ulrich Wust","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073694003455,"sku":"9783735605849","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b12a41b7-ffe7-4516-a58e-d3d4b6919aa5.jpg?v=1685449343","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ulrich-wst-ulrich-wust-9783735605849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
