There are two reasons these days to congratulate photographer Timm Rautert. With the exhibition, the gallery Parrotta Contemporary Art at Burg Lede celebrates the artist's 85th birthday. In addition, on 24 October, within the exhibition period, Timm Rautert will be presented with the Kulturpreis of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie (DGPh) for his lifetime achievement. The Kulturpreis is the highest honour of the DGPh. It has been awarded annually since 1958 to personalities who have made outstanding contributions to photography. The DGPh thereby honours “a lifetime's work that combines documentary precision with conceptual depth, and a personality who has decisively shaped German photography over decades, through his photographic work, through his journalistic work and through his teaching as a professor of photography.”
On the occasion of his 85th birthday, from 12 September to 14.
