Description
This full-colour coffee-table-format art book of Arctic and Antarctic photographs by the late Klaus Hochheim captures both the working life and the artistic eye of this ice researcher, who died accidentally in 2013 while conducting research in the Arctic. In the tradition of great modernist photographers, Hochheim's pictures offer intimate seeing and profound clarity. This beautiful book of 78 large-scale photos exhibited in 2024 also includes essays by exhibition curator Sarah Hodges-Kolisnyk and ice scientist David Babb, and a foreword by Martha Hochheim, the photographer's widow.
