Andreas Gursky

Andreas Gursky is considered one of the most important contemporary artists. With an objective and precise eye, he captures the burning issues of modern life and global reality. Each overall composition is a technical and visual masterpiece that has long inscribed itself on the collective visual memory of the art world. The exhibition in Museum Frieder Burda, which is being developed in close co-operation with the artist himself, allows the viewer to rediscover Gursky’s fascinating cosmos of images in a kind of overview. The strict “involvement” of these pictures, which serve our worldly concepts and imaginations, is put up for exploration and discussion. The exhibition, curated by Udo Kittelmann for the Museum Frieder Burda, forms an arc between Andreas Gursky’s older, iconic works and his latest and most current visual inventions.
