Content description.....

This book is not a comprehensive album of the photographs taken in the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg between 1948 and 1974. It provides a kaleidoscope, a visual collection, ordered according to the four traditional categories of the photographic trade: architecture, object, reporting and portrait. The pictures are a representative selection from the rich collection of around 160,000 negatives registered by 1970 and included in the extensive collection bequeathed by the photographic centre at the Volkswagen plant. The collection amounts to "works photography" in the truest sense of the word. The anthology consists of photographic assignments, carried out either by photogra¬phers employed at the factory or external free-lancers acting on behalf of the company. They depict images from both inside and outside the factory, as well as the city of Wolfsburg.
