Axel Hütte (*1951 in Essen) studied with Bernd Becher in the photography class at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1976 to 1981. He received, among other things, the DAAD scholarship for London in 1982, a scholarship for the German Study Centre in Palazzo Barbarigo della Terrazza in Venice in 1985/86 and the Karl Schmidt Rottluff scholarship from 1986 to 1988. In 1993 Axel Hütte received the Hermann Claasen Prize for Creative Photography. Along with Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth and Candida Höfer, he is considered one of the most important representatives of the Düsseldorf School of Photography.
