Photographer unknown. Sam Wooding and his Chocolate Kiddies Orchestra, performing at the Ufa-Palast in Berlin. 1928. Vintage sepia-toned gelatin silver print. 16,5 x 22,2 cm. "Ufa" photo stamp and annotated in pencil on the verso.

In 1925, American jazz musician Sam Wooding brought his famous Chocolate Kiddies Orchestra to Berlin for the first time. They were the first large, all-Black jazz band to perform in many major European cities, achieving lasting success with their "Hot Jazz" style. Their Berlin debut took place on May 25, 1925, at the Admirals-Palast. During their 1925 and 1926 tours, the band recorded with VOX and Grammophon. On their fourth visit in 1930, they performed live at Berliner Rundfunk radio in a program titled "Music from America," offering a wide spectrum of music that demonstrated the origins of Black jazz.
This image captures the band on their third visit to Berlin, performing at the Ufa-Palast theater in 1928. Their show, Die Schwarze Revue (The Black Revue), was part of the Ufa stage production, with a stage set designed by Rudi Feld, which likely influenced the design of the Nazi-era exhibit catalog for Entartete Musik (Degenerate Music) in the 1930s. This rare image is an important document of jazz history. – A few indentation spots, and light scratch in lower left, otherwise in near excellent condition.

Details

So stell' ich mir die Liebe vor. 1977. 13 vintage chromogenic prints. 50 x 40 cm (sheet size), various image sizes. Each signed and editioned by the photographer in felt-tip pen on verso. Includes double sheet with title, dedication, and imprint. Edition F.C. Gundlach & Jürgen Klauke Hamburg/Cologne. Presented in original cardboard box.

The photography and media artist Jürgen Klauke is known for his critical and confrontational view of normed sexual identities and social behavioral patterns. In works ranging from highly minimalistic to strongly excessive, and also at times surrealistic scenes, his photographs reflect on the basic conditions of paranoid existence. Using everyday materials as a means to produce images, the artist creates a concentrated look at the absurdity of life. – Colors slightly shifted, some light handling marks, otherwise in good condition.
