Dear MEL Topic Readers,
The monumental vision of world's most expensive photographer
The Hayward Gallery is an art gallery in London. The half-century-old gallery has just completed a major renovation and reopened for the public. It is now showing a collection of Andreas Gursky, one of the most renowned photographers of today, for its grand opening exhibition.
Andreas Gursky is a German photographer and professor who is known for his large format architecture and high-view landscape photographs. Those photo works created after the 1990s are digitally edited and enhanced by computers, showing splashy, entertaining images. Despite the heavy manipulations, most of the images shown in his photo works present metaphorical aspect of the modern world, ranging from online or off-line retail stores, solar panels in a natural landscape, areal view of Antarctica. Some of his works are priced over millions of dollars in auctions.
Enjoy reading the article and seeing some of Gursky’s works, and think what is so special about his photo works.
