UPDATE: April 2014.
Wow! Thank you everyone for your fantastic support and interest in the project. Its a relief to see that the idea of photographing bus stops from the former Soviet Union was maybe not so crazy after all. This limited edition of 1500 is pretty much all preordered. If you are still interested send an email to info@herwigphoto.com for updates on possible future editions or to be on the list for unclaimed books from this edition.
Vera Kavalkova-Halvarsson has joined our team, heading up our research effort and has been busy interviewing some of the fantastic individuals who were behind this unique art form. These insights will be included in the background section of the book, all of which is coming together beautifully and will be off to the printer in the middle of April.

Photographer Christopher Herwig has been hunting bus stops in remote corners of the former Soviet Union since he stumbled upon them while biking to St. Petersburg in 2002. He has covered more than 30,000 km by car, bus and taxi in 13 countries discovering and documenting these strange works of art created behind the Iron Curtain. From the shores of the Black Sea to the endless Kazakh steppe, the bus stops show the range of public art from the Soviet era and give a rare glimpse into the creative minds of the time. Herwig’s series attracted considerable media interest around the world, and now with the project complete, the full collection will be presented in Soviet Bus Stops as a deluxe, limited edition, hard cover photo book. The book represents the most comprehensive and diverse collection of Soviet bus stop design ever assembled.
