This comprehensive publication dedicated to Carl Grossberg (1894–1940) accompanies a retrospective exhibition of his work at two German museums. His industrial structures, vats and machines are testimony to the rapid technological progress at the beginning of the twentieth century. Portrayed on a monumental scale, they are produced with sober precision, clear forms and luminous colours – and almost always without people. The eerie emptiness is both modern and impressive.
