FRANK THIEL (Kleinmachnow, Germany, 1966). "Stadt Berlin", 2000. Photograph. Signed and dated on the back. Size: 175 x 238 cm. The photograph on offer here is closely related to the artist's biography since, although Frank Thiel was born in East Germany, in 1985 he moved to West Berlin to study photography. His professional career thus began with an in-depth study of the city and its transformation, his second reconstruction. Thiel's most characteristic work is that of his first period, when he reflected the fall of the Berlin Wall and the planning of a new city on the basis of the foundations laid by its previous double centrality, that is, when he documented the constant transformation of the German capital. Born in a town near Berlin, in 1985 he moved to West Berlin, where he attended photography training school from 1987 to 1989. In the German capital he documented its social and political history. Thiel refers to Berlin as "the youngest city in the world" and further explains that "the city suffers from an overdose of history... however, it does not suffer from its sediments like other European cities, but from the consequences of its eruptions". Thiel is currently represented in major European institutions, including the Reina Sofia Museum, the National Gallery of Canada, the Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington and the Phillips Collection in Washington.
