Andreas Gursky, Shanghai, (2000)
The photographic works of German photographer Andreas Gursky are currently being shown at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk, Denmark. Born in Leipzig in 1955, Gursky’s work has been renowned for its frank and imposing depictions of industrial spaces and man-made structures, presenting a so-called “dispassionate” method of photography. The show includes 40 very large works and a number of smaller pieces that comprise his oeuvre up to his most current works; each piece meticulously composed of hundreds of individual photos seamlessly combined into one large image.
