Rena Bransten Gallery in San Francisco, is presenting an exhibition of recent photographs by Candida Höfer. The exhibition will continue through April 5th.
Candida Höfer's exhibition takes viewers on an international tour of rooms, both public and private, in schools, palaces, operas, libraries and villas – empty of humans but full of dazzling design and decorative detail. Even without people, the spaces have both a presence and energy – rooms await and anticipate – furniture stands-in for human expression and emotions.
