Magnum Photos

Distro - Berlin, 50 years.1945-1995 

Magnum Photographers 

Since the end of the second world war Magnum photographers have been drawn to Berlin.

From the founders, Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson to René Burri and Raymond Depardon and todays younger members , all have covered Berlin. The arbitrary delimitation of what was meant to be a « new » world, the destruction and the reconstruction have lead to many unforgettable photographs.

In view of the November 1999 tenth anniversary of the fall of the wall, we offer you a selection which inlcudes the landmarks , from 1945 until today.
