THOMAS STRUTH (German, b. 1954) FAMILY K-CH (NAPLES) inscribed, dated, editioned and signed "Sarah and Alessandro KSch with their mother, Guiliana Casassa, Napoli, June 28th 1989, 5/10, Thomas Struth" on verso label with print information and signed by the photographer on verso of the frame chromogenic color print 263/8 x 3215/16 in. (67 x 83.7 cm) 1989 this print is number 5 from an edition of 10 ESTIMATE: $10,000-15,000 PROVENANCE Bought directly from the artist by the current owner, GERMANY LITERATURE Thomas Weski et. al., PORTRAITS THOMAS STRUTH, Munich, 1997, p. 60 (illustrated) This is an interesting example of Struth's exploration of the concept of family and the relationships that structure each family. His inscription underscores the absence of a father figure, for example. As in other photographs from this series, the family here is aware of the photographer's presence, but by catching them in casual poses in the privacy of their backyard, Struth reveals the structure of this particular family.
