Dear Friends of Schirmer/Mosel Publishing,

when my friend and co-partner Erik Mosel and I founded Schirmer/Mosel Publishing on April 1, 1974, neither of us nor any of our close friends had the slightest idea of the endeavor’s longevity.

As it happens, we are celebrating the company’s 50th anniversary. And since April 1, 2024 is Easter Monday, we will party on May 1, Labor Day.

Our anniversary program consists of three programs:

First, the new releases and jubilee offers for spring 2024.

Second, the illustrated bibliography of all Schirmer/Mosel books published in the past 50 years. A total of 1826 titles, if I’ve counted correctly. This catalogue – see cover and sample pages above – gives a kind of report on our creative use of life to collectors, readers, authors, booksellers, antiquarians as well as the trade and general press. Wolfgang Kemp, professor emeritus of art history who wrote the introductory essay, is also the author of the very first Schirmer/Mosel book, Rheinlandschaften by August Sander published in 1975. Following our path from the very beginning, he gave good advice in many situations. And he has written quite a few books for us, particularly notable is the Theorie der Fotografie series he initiated and redacted for many years. Volume 5, published recently, was edited by his former student Peter Geimer.

Third, the new complete catalogue of Schirmer/Mosel books in print, listing a total of 372 titles. Assuming a production of 40 titles per year, almost ten years of publications are available. At times when the current production disappears faster and faster, this gives us a sense of pride and joy.

News has just come in that our author Candida Höfer is the recipient of the 2024 Käthe Kollwitz Prize, to be awarded on September 13, 2024, in the Berlin Akademie der Künste. Moreover, on February 4, 2024, she is celebrating her 80th birthday. Congratulations!

Please make use of our lavish publications and celebrate with us. Our representatives will be happy to inform you on special conditions good for a whole year and possible anniversary window displays.

Thank you for your interest and support.

Best regards,

  LS-Blau
Lothar Schirmer, December 2023
