Candida Höfer — Ca'Rezzonico Venezia I
Candida Höfer

Ca'Rezzonico Venezia I

A grand interior of the Ca' Rezzonico museum in Venice is captured with Höfer's signature precision and stillness, revealing the opulent Baroque architecture bathed in soft, diffused light. The vast, symmetrical space is rendered in exquisite detail, showcasing gilded ornaments, frescoed ceilings, and polished floors devoid of human presence. Printed as a large-scale chromogenic print and flush-mounted, the work transforms the historic palazzo into a meditation on institutional grandeur and the quiet authority of cultural spaces.

Medium
Chromogenic print, flush-mounted.
