Andreas Gursky's pictorial world has exerted a strong fascination ever since his works became better known to a wider audience at the beginning of the 90s, making both him and his style famous. This fascination is thanks in the main to the amazingly simple procedure of viewing the individual elements in close-up and the classical change of viewing perspective, which, in the sum of the parts, adds up to a truly powerful compositional visual impression.\nOther characteristics can be singled out, too, for example the pictorial nature of transitory procedures that reveals in particular, an essence akin to a sign of the times in Gursky's works. No other artist working in the field of photography has been able to present - even in his early works - such a bold interplay of different optical and semantic worlds. Whether is be Nike trainers arranged like a sculpture on shelves for example, whose presentation en masse and in strict geometrical order is a minimalist act in its own right, or such apparently inconspicuous subjects such as the Rhine near D?sseldorf, in which absence itself is represented. In his recent works and by means his very own pictorial language, he shows the cosmos of a familiar and yet unlived exoticism, of the supposedly globally accessible sign.\nFor the first time since 1998 there is a comprehensive presentation in Germany of Andreas Gursky's work

As new ISBN: 9783936859621 CATALOG: Painting & Sculpture KEYWORDS: History of art Painting photography Contemprary Art Gursky's photos exploit the visual codes of a globalized world. They combine collective memories into rhythmic images that appear familiar and intelligible to viewers because the situations have been stored in their subconscious. But the photographer's slightly elevated vantage point gives these situations an unfamiliar feeling. Viewers float above the objects, observing from an idealized perspective they are usually denied. Patterns and repetition become obvious, details once overlooked become prominent, and situations usually considered banal take on the air of a medieval miniature, an Old Master, or an abstract painting. Since the early 1990s, Gursky has photographed his motifs using both analog and digital methods, and then composed his final image using digital technology. Gursky's works, therefore, are not classical documentary photographs, but are hyper-realistic fictions based on facts. Reality can only be portrayed when one constructs it, says the photographer. With their paradoxical character and idealized composition, Gursky's works simultaneously express reality and observe it. Includes a critical essay by curator Thomas Weski and a contribution titled In Yankee Stadium by American novelist Don DeLillo. N° de réf. du vendeur 86958
