Hans P. Kraus Jr. Inc., established in New York in 1984, is a dealer in nineteenth and early twentieth century photographs.
Hans P. Kraus Jr. is pleased to present Form Follows Function in Early Photographs through 26 November 2025. The images on display show structures exemplifying architect Louis Sullivan’s principle of “form [ever] follows function.” Work by William Henry Fox Talbot, Victor Regnault, Félix Teynard, Henri Le Secq, Frederick H. Evans, and others, in addition to a selection of photomechanical prints by Talbot, Le Secq, and Hippolyte Fizeau, portray structures that are both visually compelling and eminently suited to their function.
