Candida Höfer

David Campagna Prints and Drawings Room
Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum presents Candida Höfer’s architectural photography in a small exhibition in the David Campagna Prints and Drawings Room. Höfer is known for her precisely composed, large-scale color images of architectural interiors that evoke a quiet, mysterious elegance. Typically, the people who would inhabit her environments are absent, thus enabling her to discover in the spaces what she describes as an “almost magical presence of things.” The artist’s images ask viewers to conduct a distanced examination through the window she has created. Her rhythmically patterned images present a universe of interiors wholly constructed by human intention, unearthing the patterns of order, logic, and disruption imposed on places by their now absent creators and residents.
