Deutsche Stadtbaukunst by Thomas Struth is a C-print photograph capturing a quiet urban street scene, infused with a sense of nostalgia and realism. Created in 2010, this piece highlights the architectural aesthetics of a Japanese street, focusing on the intersection of traditional and modern elements in the urban environment. Struth’s monochromatic style accentuates the textures and contrasts of the street’s details, from the cluttered signage and electrical wires to the modestly scaled buildings. This image invites viewers to reflect on urban spaces and how they embody both cultural identity and the passage of time. Signed, dated, and numbered, the print’s limited edition of 30 reinforces its exclusivity.

A member of the Düsseldorf School, he studied under Bernd and Hilla Becher.

C-Print

C-PrintA C-type print, also known as a chromogenic print, is a photographic print made from a color negative or slide. The print is created on chromogenic paper, which contains three emulsion layers, each sensitized to a different primary color. After exposure, the paper is processed in a series of chemical baths, where each layer reacts to the chemicals to produce the final image. C-type prints are known for their rich color depth and are widely used in fine art and commercial photography.

I wanted to make photographs in which everything was so complex and detailed that you could look at them forever and never see everything.

- Thomas Struth

Renowned for his work across a wide range of subject matter, Thomas Struth is a photographer whose portfolio includes Australian rainforests, inner city scenes and intimate portraits; his New Pictures from Paradise, eight separate large-format photographs, captures the natural beauty of the Daintree rainforest – Struth has described the series as his ‘most intuitive work’. Of his creative process, Struth has stated “when I am taking a photograph, I am conscious that I am constructing images rather than taking snapshots” - a concept exhibited in his most notable work, the Museum Photographs, an intimate and candid series that captured museum visitors as they admired works of art. Struth studied under Bernd and Hilla Bechr and the methodology he has used throughout his career was inspired by their documentarian approach, he also studied under Gerard Richter who encouraged his interests in painterly images.
