André Gelpke is a German-Swiss photographer and educator. From 1969-1975, he studied at the Folkwangschule Essen under Otto Steinert. In 1975, he co-founded the photo agency Visum alongside Rudi Meisel and Gerd Ludwig. Over time, Gelpke shifted his focus increasingly toward artistic photography and, together with figures like Heinrich Riebesehl and Michael Schmidt, played a key role in establishing photography as a recognized art form in Germany. – A few small retouched spots, otherwise in very good condition.
