Text in English and German. Ullmann has explored Venice photographically for more than twenty years. This book shows the famous city from a very individual point of view, not emphasising the tourist highlights, but investigating the 'essence' of Venice in a number of impressive photographs.
Gerhard Ullmann was born in Teplitz in 1935, and has lived in Berlin since 1956, where he studied architecture and painting at the Hochschule der Kunste, then worked as an architecture and art critic, and also as a photographer. His work include books on Sanssouci and derelict industrial sites. He has also acquired a reputation abroad with his photographic exhibitions on Berlin and Venice, on masks and carnivals. Lucius Burckhardt, a young don at HfG Ulm and ETH Zurich, later editor-in-chief of the magazine werk, professor at the Gesamthochschuie Kassel from 1973 to 1997, in the meantime chairman of the Deutscher Werkbund, is indubitably one of the most unusual "lateral" thinkers of our day.
