About the Item

Michael WOLF (1954 – 2019, Germany) Paris Rooftops 01, 2014 C–print Sheet 121,9 x 172,7 cm (48 x 68 in.) Edition of 9, plus 2 AP; Ed. no. 8/9 Michael Wolf was born in 1954 in Munich, Germany. He worked and lived in Paris and Hong Kong where he died in April 2019. The focus of Michael Wolf’s work is life in mega-cities. His projects document both the architecture and the vernacular culture of metropolises. Born in Munich, Wolf grew up in Canada, Europe, and the United States, studying at UC Berkeley and at the Folkwang School with Otto Steinert in Essen, Germany. He moved to Hong Kong in 1994, where he worked for eight years as a contract photographer for Stern magazine. Since 2003, Wolf has been focusing on his own projects, publishing over thirty books of his work. His work is held in many permanent collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Brooklyn Museum, the San Jose Museum of Art in California, the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, the Museum Folkwang in Essen, the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, and M+ in Hong Kong. paris roof tops: Having lived in Hong Kong since the 1990s and having photographed mostly in Asia, Wolf took in his new Parisian surroundings with cautious curiosity, making a conscious decision to stay away from the quintessentially Parisian sights that adorn travel books. During his exploration of the city, Wolf discovered the uniqueness and beauty of its zinc roofs. With a strong sense of colour and his characteristic genius for composition and abstraction, Wolf captured the density and humanity of urban life through a city’s architecture, and managed to astound the viewer with a fresh perspective, as he had done so brilliantly in Hong Kong with his highly-acclaimed series ‘Architecture of Density’. – Art, Cityscape, Architecture, City, Michael Wolf, Street Photography, Colour Photography, Paris, Rooftops, Chimneys, Abstract, Pattern, Structure, Geometry
