Axel Hütte (born 1951 in Essen) is considered one of the most significant international photographers of our time, known for his seemingly painterly works. The exhibition focuses on his large-scale photographs of mountains, glaciers and water which the artist himself describes as imagined landscapes. As a former student of Bernd and Hilla Becher he is an important representative of the Düsseldorf School of Photography.
