FINE Condition

This is a very rare first edition, first printing of Volker Heinze’s critically acclaimed photobook “Ahnung (Foreboding)” published by Dirk Nishen, Berlin in 1989 with a limitation of 800 copies. Commenting on the book, Parr & Badger in their reference work, “The Photobook: A History” wrote, ""[Ahnung is] about the sense of uncertainty that the advent of this brave new world [after the fall of the Berlin wall] might generate, and also about how colour photographs can be made to reflect feelings rather than just documenting the superficial aspect of things...[like Michael Schmidt's Waffenruhe and John Gossage's Stadt des Schwarz, it is] another remarkable photobook dealing not only with the alienation that many feel in relation to today's world, but also with the unique situation that was Berlin in the time of the Wall."

Containing 16 color photographs and measuring approximately 11.75” x 10”, the book is bound in paper covered boards with a black cloth spine (the book was issued without a dust jacket). The book and covers are in FINE condition. The book is protected with a mylar covering. Also included with the book is the original invitation from Museum Folkswang for the “Ahnung Exhibition”.
