C/O Berlin

The must-seen bookstore for photography lovers

 

 

Few art institutions or galleries in the world have such a close history with their premises as the internationally renowned C/O gallery with the ancient Postfuhramt building. When the gallery was forced to abandon its premises in late 2012, it took the risk of leaving its familiar stomping ground in the hip eastern gallery district of Mitte to turn to Charlottenburg, the bourgeois centre of former West Berlin.

 

What is more, it traded a charming building from the 1880s for the Amerika Haus, an unremarkable structure erected in 1957.
