This book in the form of "photographic collection" 

in reality is Colinia (Germany) in the museum of modern and contemporary art 

founded in 1976 by collector Peter Ludwig.

The acquisition in 1977 from the collection of the Museum Ludwig 

and Renate L. Fritz Gruber served as the starting point of the museum's collection.

Overall, the photographic section of the museum possesses 

a wealth of 9300 photographs.

I was fascinated by the amount of passion, dedication and also madness that I found in these shots.
A heritage that includes fashion shots, nude, in detail, of landscapes and abstract figures but always with a message to be transmitted.

Prior to thank these great artists I want to show the photographs that struck me more than the others.
