Event: Horst Hamann 2010
Photographer Horst Hamann , born in Mannheim, has travelled to more than 70 countries. He visited New York for the first time in 1979, and since then his fascination with the city has not let him go. He spent five years working on the photographic series "New York Vertical", published in 1996. His book won him many national and international awards, among others the Kodak Picture Book Prize and the Photo Design Gold Award. The Museum of the City of New York even honoured him with a solo exhibition.
Last year for m:con, Horst Hamann completed the "Rosengarten Vertical 2009" and in this year the "Rosengarten Vertical 2010". He also personally presented his latest collection in the EDITION PANORAMA gallery to our Congress Club members.
