Zusammenfassung
In Stuttgart aufgewachsen, ließ sich FRED HERZOG (1930-2019) 1953 in Vancouver nieder, wo er als medizinischer Fotograf arbeitete. Erst digitale Pigmentdruckverfahren ermöglichten ihm in den frühen 2000er-Jahren die Farbintensität der mit seiner Leica aufgenommenen Kodachrome-Dias wiederzugeben. Seine farbfotografische Pionierleistung wurde mit seiner ersten großen Einzelausstellung in der Vancouver Art Gallery im Jahr 2007 bekannt und erlangte große internationale Anerkennung.
