About this title

Synopsis

Austria's history as a destination for the arts began more than 25,000 years ago with the carving of the Wildendorf Venus and continued throughout the Roman, Gothic and Baroque periods. Today's Vienna is an amalgam of old and new with an abundant mix of museums, galleries, monuments and parks to delight any visitor.

Book Description

Cologne-based photographer Achim Bednorz has specialized in photographing sacred places. The principle behind his method of interpretation is simple: to get as close to reality as possible. This means presenting the object in well balanced directed light, making the object recognizable as if in ideal circumstances, and foregoing any special effects.
