{"product_id":"16598-thomas-hoepker","title":"Thomas Hoepker","description":"The photographs by Thomas Hoepker (born 1936 in Munich) captivate with their documentary quality, authenticity, and evidentiary nature, as they are always preceded by an unbiased gaze. For many years, the photojournalist worked for magazines such as Stern and Geo. In the early 1970s, he was accredited in the GDR for several years with his wife, journalist Eva Windmöller, reporting on politics and daily life in East Berlin. In this opulent photo book, Hoepker documents life and the GDR from 1959 until the fall of the Wall: images of children playing at the Wall, party rallies, propaganda posters, old dilapidated facades from the imperial era and new prefabricated buildings, Sunday excursions and empty supermarket shelves, as well as portraits of artists like Wolf Biermann, tell stories from a vanished state.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eExhibitions: German Historical Museum, Berlin May 11–Oct 3, 2011 | Galerie Christian Hiltawsky, Berlin May 27–Jul 9, 2011 | Haus der Geschichte, Bonn Jul 1, 2011–June 2012 | Berlin Wall Memorial, Chapel of Reconciliation, Berlin July–August 2011","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2813-3)","offer_id":45171468206344,"sku":"9783775728133","price":39.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775728133_bc3b5322-3982-40bf-b0f1-d397aa19b3ef.jpg?v=1744141252","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16598-thomas-hoepker","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
