Wim Wenders’ photographs of the United States and Australia reflect his cinematic sensibility, capturing vast, often desolate landscapes with a striking use of color and composition. His vivid, saturated tones contrast with scenes of decay and emptiness, giving them quiet intensity and emotional depth. This group of photographs served as model prints for the publication Wim Wenders: Photos, which accompanied an exhibition organized by the Goethe-Institut, Munich in 1996. Most are Cibachrome prints, distinguished by their exceptional color richness. – A few light surface scratch marks, more visible at an angle, a few small dents, nine with discoloration in lower right corner, otherwise in very good condition with bright colors. With: A copy of the book Wim Wender: Photos. (Cover of case time-stained in edges).
