Architecture of Density (signed)
Regularly $350.00 / Sale $262.50

Architecture of Density features stunning and sobering photographs of high-rise apartment buildings in Hong Kong by German photographer Michael Wolf, revealing his personal fascination with life in mega-cities. Having lived there for several years, Wolf began to document Hong Kong's extreme development and complex urban dynamics, and how these factors play into the relationships between public and private space, anonymity and individuality, in one of the most densely populated cities on the planet. Michael Wolf's Architecture of Density close-up views take the repetitive facades and colorful palettes out of their architectural context, instead offering urban patterns. With an introduction by Ernest Chui and essay by Natasha Egan.

Born in Munich, Germany, in 1954, Michael Wolf was raised in Berkeley, California. He studied at UC Berkeley before earning a degree from the University of Essen in Germany, where he was a student of Otto Steinert. Wolf's photographs are part of permanent collections at prominent institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Brooklyn Museum; the Cleveland Museum of Art; the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum, Kansas City; the Museum Folkwang, Essen, Germany; and the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, among others.
