Christel, Detlef. Untitled. (Kids, Berlin). Gelatin silver print on photographic paper. Vintage. Bear the Berlin photographer’s stamp on the reverse. Circa 1980. Sheet dimensions: 28.4 x 20.4 cm. Detlef Christel (1943–2018), who studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig until 1981, subsequently worked as a photojournalist for the magazine “Freie Welt” in East Berlin. Straddling the line between documentary observation and artistic visual language, he devoted himself primarily to portraits, urban scenes, and social snapshots. A major focus of his work was portraits of children and adolescents, whom he depicted in relaxed, everyday situations. - Very good.
