Melbourne photographer Marty Williams has cautioned that the above picture - Gears for mining industry, Vickers-Ruwolt, Melbourne 1967 - by means of German photographer Wolfgang Sievers have to make the cut. I in reality agree. Sievers, who migrated to Australia in 1938, become a outstanding figure within the Melbourne pictures scene. Influenced by way of the Bauhaus technology, Sievers have become one of this united states?S maximum noted industrial and architectural photographers and many of his works are held in public and private collections here and overseas.
