Description
Offered here is a museum-quality set of two original vintage silver gelatin prints documenting the Amsterdam "Kraaker" (squatter) and punk scene in 1985. These prints are a testament to the collaboration between an award-winning photographer and one of Germany’s finest darkroom masters.
The Items in Detail:
- Print 1 (approx. 21 x 27 cm):
- Subject: Portrait of Amsterdam activist Hans Hangenhuijzen inside a squat.
- Special Feature: Hand-signed on the front by the subject ("hans hangenhuijzen"). Identified on the reverse as the work of photographer Wolfgang Kunz (Bilderberg Agency, World Press Photo winner).
Print 2 (approx. 13 x 18 cm):
- Subject: Iconic double portrait of the 1980s punk subculture.
- Special Feature: Signed on the reverse by master printer Wolfgang Hohn and dated "grauwert '85". This confirms its production at the legendary Grauwert laboratory in Hamburg.
Technical Quality & Provenance:
Both photographs are authentic silver gelatin prints on premium baryta paper. Detail shots show the characteristic surface luster and deep blacks achieved only through masterful darkroom work. Matching handwriting on the reverse of both prints confirms their shared provenance from the same professional 1985 edition.
Condition:
- General: Very good vintage condition with strong contrasts. Professionally stored, no fading.
- Print 1 (Large Format): Two minimal edge flaws: tiny creases on the far right edge and a very small emulsion lift at the top right corner, clearly visible in the detail photo. These are confined to the white border and do not affect the image itself; they would be completely hidden if framed with a mount/mat.
- Print 2: Excellent condition with no visible flaws.
