Germaine Krull - Métal , Ann und Jürgen Wilde, 2002/2003, Köln

 

Hardcover, half cloth map with 64 loose plates, edition of 1000 numbered copies. Two Booklets, a reprint of the original 1928 preface by Florent Fels (in French) and a translation of Florent Fels' original text, with a new preface by Germaine Krull from 1976, a commentary by Ann and Jürgen Wilde on this reproduction and a list of all the titles. (Text in English, German and French).

Reprint of the 1928 edition by Librairie des Arts Décoratifs.

Although a portfolio, rather than a book, Métal is widely considered to be among the most important photographic publications of the 1920s. Not only was Krull able to create work that stood the test of time, but she managed it in a profession dominated by men. It is interesting that with Métal, she embraces a clearly masculine theme. (achtung.photography)
