Andreas Gursky

by: Beate Sontgen, Nina Zimmer, Andreas Gursky
The pictures are jaw dropping. Exquisite. Incredible. Six stars pictures.. The most important thing to me is that his photography is SUCH that I turn pages very very slowly... Each picture contains majestic details... such a level of detail in each photo is what makes his photo craft so unique...

However, there are too few pictures and many pages devoted to words and words... essays that ramble on art, pictures and blabla... I mean, I love words, i love books, but this, to me, misses the point of a book tha's mean for beautiful pictures.

Andreas Gursky: Architecture

Gursky's work is of course wonderful, BUT... This is not a collection of photographs--it's a collection of essays. There are about 15 full-size photos and about 60 2" x 3" photos embedded in the text. Good if you want to read about the master. Not good if you want to see the master's work.

Andreas Gursky

A new book from sensational artist Andreas Gursky is always a publishing event. This stunning, large-format exhibition catalog from Gursky's recent solo show in Munich is made up of works mostly created since his Museum of Modern Art show in 2001.

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.

Made In Mexico

by: Francis Alys, Claudia Fernandez, Andrea Fraser, Thomas Glassford, Erik Gongrich, Terence Gower, Andreas Gursky
Everything is made in Mexico, from decorative mirrors to silver jewelry to plastic dolls and ceramic dishware--and contemporary art. Made in Mexico examines recent art produced within and about Mexico. Historically, Mexico has always welcomed artists and writers from abroad as a way of enriching and diversifying the national character. This publication examines the phenomenon from a contemporary perspective for the first time. Made in Mexico highlights the current generation of cultural production within the context of prevailing global and conceptual art vocabularies.
