Robert Vanis, back of a book, exhibition view 2025; photo: Robert Vanis
The color photograph in landscape format shows a section of a bookshelf with historical holdings, designed by Theophil von Hansen for the reading room of the Academy Library. Some books have been removed, and their place between the spines is taken by a portrait-format color photograph with a cloudy sky.
