André Gelpke (German, born 1947) studied photography with Otto Steinert at the Folkwang School in Essen between 1969 and 1974. Already in 1974, Gelpke was featured in an early solo exhibition at Galerie Lichtropfen in Aachen, later to become Galerie Kicken. In the year after obtaining his diploma, Gelpke co-founded the Visum photo agency. Next to Heinrich Riebesehl and Michael Schmidt, Gelpke can be considered one of the pioneers of art photography in West-Germany at the time. Gelpke’s photographs have been featured in numerous solo exhibitions at large museums, such as the Museum Folkwang, Essen, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, and at the Sprengel Museum, Hanover, among others. Between 1990 and 2012 he was professor for photography at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (Zurich University of the Arts). He continues to live and work in Zurich.

Das Buch ist super, danke! Aber 27,50 € Versandkosten ist doch recht viel. Mein Fehler, nicht geprüft. In Zukunft biete ich einfach nicht mehr mit, Problem gelöst!

Seller's response

wie sie richtigerweise erwähnen, handelt es sich um eine pauschale (und nichts anderes ist angesichts der menge der im monat zu verschickenden bücher möglich und zu erwarten). das heisst: 1. dass sie sich mit ihrem gebot damit einverstanden erklären und es nicht in ordnung ist, sich im nachhinein darüber beschweren 2. dass ich genau 27,50 euro an portokosten im durchschnitt benötige (im einzelfall mal mehr, mal weniger und wohin die reise geht, weiß ich erst, wenn die auktion zu ende ist, NICHT vorher) 3. habe ich deutlich höhere kosten gehabt als die von ihnen erwähnten 11 euro. ihre behauptung ist also faktisch falsch 4. habe in der vergangenheit oftmals mehr als 27,50 euro für ihre sendungen bezahlt. ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dass sie sich darüber je beschwert hätten…! :) also bitte immer schön fair bleiben! danke!

fast, clean delivery, thank you very much.

The book is in perfect condition. I encountered some issues with the delivery, which were not the sender's fault but rather due to the courier.
