About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a metal stand holding up a wire frame. The frame looks like a palm tree but is made of straight pieces of wire. It’s stuck to a plain wall, and the floor is dark. The whole thing is simple and a little stiff. The title is *Zollstockpalme*, which means "Zollstock palm" in German. That’s the name of a neighborhood in Berlin. The artists made this in 1966 as part of a series of photos. Next, check out lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
