Candida Höfer comes from the Düsseldorf School, along with Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth and Alex Hütte. Since the 1980s, her large-scale photographs have embodied, in their own particular style, the photographic objectivity defined in the late 1960s by Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Düsseldorf Kunstakademie.
