TILLMANS, Wolfgang - Wolfgang Tillmans

Background information

"In his artistic work Wolfgang TILLMANS has revolutionized the medium of photography in a way never seen before and opened it up to other media. Beginning in the early 1990s, TILLMANS documented the people and situations of his immediate surroundings in scenes from London, New York or Berlin, thus creating a portrait of a new generation in a style-defining way. Since the late 1990s, TILLMANS has increasingly been making cameraless, abstract photographs that are the result of direct work with and on photographic paper. In the exhibition context, he also developed new, anti-hierarchical forms of installation for his pictures in space. (Publisher's text, © Hatje Cantz, 2017)
