Item Overview

Description

Born in Germany, Fred Herzog came to Vancouver in the early 1950s. Since that time, he has produced a substantial body of photographs, taking urban life in Vancouver---the city's second-hand shops, vacant lots, neon signage and the crowds of people who have populated the city's streets over the past fifty years---as his primary subject. As one of the first practitioners of "street photography," Herzog's photographic documentation of Vancouver is estimated to have resulted in more than 90,000 colour slides and 28,000 black-and-white images. His work was featured in the 2007 Vancouver Art Gallery exhibition Fred Herzog. He has also been featured in solo exhibitions at Laurence Miller Gallery, New York and the Canadian Cultural Centre, Paris. In addition to the three artworks offered, this auction item also includes a personal guided walking tour with the artist to each of the locations depicted.
