Galerie Rüdiger Schöttle is also exhibiting Elger Esser, a representative of the Düsseldorf School of Photography, at ART COLOGNE. The Düsseldorf School of Photography, also known as the Becher School, is an important focus of the gallery. The exhibited works of the photo artist Esser refer to Mont Saint Michel in France. The pictures are based on his own technique. It consists of photographic work and a printing process on a silver-plated copper plate, finally refined with shellac. It is not a classic photographic technique in the sense that the picture captivates with its extraordinarily atmospheric appearance, which almost achieves a painterly quality due to its matt texturing. This highlight is further emphasized by a classic, old-masterly frame.
