Object of the month

For our current exhibition, "F.C. Gundlach. You’ll Never Watch Alone", which is on view at the Bucerius Kunst Forum through August 16, we have reviewed numerous slides from our archive.

Our current Object of the Month is dedicated to Barbara Buffa, who passed away on April 4, 2026, at the age of 100.

With a Christmas card from 1985, we wish you a Merry Christmas and peaceful holidays!

The white Kodak box camera not only represents a formative phase in Dirk Reinartz's professional career, but also the beginning of his amateur photography.

Glass plate negatives from the F.C. Gundlach archive: The portraits of Heinrich and Katharina Gundlach are not only family records, but early examples of F.C. Gundlach's photographic vision.

Our object of the month takes us back to the year 1967, when F.C. Gundlach founded Creative Colour GmbH (CC for short).

We recently found a whole box full of slides in the archive, from which we extracted a 35mm color slide. We want to take this discovery as an opportunity to reflect on the question of why so few color prints have survived from the work of many photographers who worked on commission.

The history of photographic technology has produced many curiosities. Among them is the Kodak disc, which we recently came across while working in the archives.
