What is & has been

Photographer Andreas Herzau (1962 – 2024) accompanied the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra for several years, both in their hometown of Bamberg and on several concert tours. The result is a multifaceted portrait of the internationally renowned orchestra, featuring unusual perspectives, a play with sharp and blurred focus, and a switch between color and black-and-white photography.

To mark Walter Schels’s 90th birthday, the F.C. Gundlach Foundation and C/O Berlin are presenting the photographer’s first major retrospective in Berlin.

With this pre-mortem bequest, the F.C. Gundlach Foundation expands its archive cluster "From Reportage and Journalism to Conceptual Photo Series" with an important contemporary position.

The catalog not only contains numerous pictures by renowned artists but also expands the exhibition on display at the Bucerius Kunstforum with interdisciplinary contributions on photography as a cultural asset.

Just in time for the 100th birthday of the Hamburg photographer, curator and collector Prof. F.C. Gundlach (1926 – 2021), the City of Hamburg, Deichtorhallen Hamburg GmbH and the F.C. Gundlach Foundation have agreed to extend and expand the loan of the Gundlach Collection to Deichtorhallen Hamburg GmbH for at least another 20 years.

The exhibition F.C. Gundlach. You'll Never Watch Alone examines the work of F.C. Gundlach (1926-2021) as a photographer, gallerist, collector, entrepreneur and networker.

The F.C. Gundlach Foundation now has a new website . We are testing its operation this week and welcome any comments or feedback.
