Arthur Walther became interested in photography in the early 90s as an excersice to go beyond the limits: \u201cI had to get out of myself and my preconceptions, borders, and limits\u201d. Although photography was extremely important by then, there were not importan collection preserving antique, modern and contemporary photographic images.
