Die vollkommene Fotografie - Heinrich Kühn
Heinrich Kühn’s lifelong goal— and one of the original ideas in international photography around 1900— was to use the photographic image as a way to realize an artistic vision as precisely as in painting or drawing. Along with Alfred Stieglitz and other friends, Kühn made the stylized photograph an element of the total work of art, which the Secessionists strove for.

Works by Talbot, Bayard, Atkins, Le Gray, Coburn, Kuhn
Basel, Switzerland – Exhibiting for the 21st year at Art Basel, Hans P. Kraus Jr. Fine Photographs will present landmark works from the early history of photography. Signature images will be on view from such important innovators as William Henry Fox Talbot, Hippolyte Bayard, Anna Atkins and Gustave Le Gray as well as works by early 20th century masters such as Alvin Langdon Coburn and Heinrich Kühn.

Hippolyte Bayard (1801-1887), whose early photographic discoveries were perhaps eclipsed by those...
