It was through her distinctive portrait works that Bettina von Zwehl achieved her international renown. WUNDERKAMMER is the first published overview of her exploration of the image. Inspired by the precursors of the European museum, namely the chambers of art and curiosities of the Renaissance, she presents a cross-section of her diverse photographic reflections on institutionalised representation. Bettina von Zwehl was born in Germany and studied at London’s Royal College of Art. Works by the artist are in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the Rubell Family Collection in Miami, among others.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
