Peter Keetman (German, 1916–2005): Locomotive, 1987. Sheet Fed Gravure Print, unsigned, professionally framed.

Peter Keetman was a central figure in German post-war modern photography. Keetman's practice managed to link two prevailing trends of this era: on the one hand, a Modernist commitment to form, design, experimentation and abstraction; on the other, a humanist worldview and a turning toward the fundamental elements of post-war reconstruction, urban dwelling and nature.

12.5 x 14 inches framed; 6 x 8 inches print.

Private collection, Boston.
