Will McBride produced his portfolio "Ich war verliebt in dieser Stadt" on the occasion of the retrospective of the same name, with which the C/O Berlin opened its new spaces in the 'Amerikahaus' in autumn 2014. The US-born artist had already exhibited his works there for the first time in 1957. Only a few days after the end of the exhibition, Will McBride passed away at the end of January 2015, thus closing the circle with his last exhibition in his lifetime. The portfolio on offer here is one of the last works in his extensive photographic oeuvre.
