Product Description

Product Description
Nobody photographs the splendid and intimate cathedrals of knowledge as beautifully as Candida Hofer. This superbly produced volume contains Hofer's famously ascetic images of the Escorial in Spain, the Whitney Museum and the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York, Villa Medici in Rome and the Hamburg University Library, among others. Umberto Eco contributes an essay on libraries.

About the Author
Candida Hofer studied with Bernd Becher at the Dussedorf Academy of Art. Candida Hofer: A Monograph was published by Thames & Hudson in 2003. Umberto Eco is a writer, philosopher and professor of semiotics at the University of Bologna. His novel The Name of the Rose was an international bestseller.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful tour of the world of books, 29 May 2009
By ILoveGeelong (Geelong, VIC, Australia) - See all my reviews
This book is a real page-turner, unbelievable considering it's entirely filled with pictures. If a travel agent creates a world tour based on these destinations I'll camp outside their office overnight to book my ticket :)
