When Stephen Shore happened to be in Easton, Pennsylvania in June 1974, he photographed a red VW camper van on a street corner. To him, the picture was paying homage to the great photographer Walker Evans and at the same time, the vantage point from which he realised it would be the best to take pictures in large format from then on. In 1980, Bernd and Hilla Becher acquired a c-print of the motif – they had been on the road in the very same vehicle for decades, documenting the industrial complexes of the western world. Thus, the compact car inevitably became a metaphor for photography.
Der Rote Bulli is the catalogue produced on the occasion of the exhibition "Der Rote Bulli. Stephen Shore and the New Düsseldorf Photography" in 2010/11 in Düsseldorf, the title of the first exhibition at the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf to examine an important chapter in recent photographic history, revolving around the city of Düsseldorf and the fruitful impulses it has generated for contemporary art. Photos by Stephen Shore, Bernd und Hilla Becher, Thomas Struth, Candida Höfer, Thomas Ruff, Andreas Gursky and many others. With contributions by Christoph Schaden, Jeffrey Ladd, Gerald Schröder and a conversation between John Szarkowski and Tony Hiss about Stephen Shore from July 1978.
