Andreas Gursky Architecture
Seller: JN Photobooks, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Oblong hardcover, 111pp. Fully illustrated monograph on architectural photography. Texts by Ralf Beil, Aleida Assmann, Jan Assmann, Elisabeth Bronfen, Sonja Fessel, et al. Described as the "first monograph to explicitly bring together selected photos of architecture from 1988 to the present by the Dusseldorf-based artist. It features keynote essays on this central theme in Andreas Gursky's oeuvre as well as intensive picture essays on each of the fifteen images on display. The catalogue and the exhibition thus for the first time explore the full depth and breadth of Gursky's notion of architecture with a view to the tectonics and textures of our built world, both on the inside and from the outside: here a high-tech cathedral of nano-research encounters archaic temple tectonics and an ostentatious place of political power comes up against the informal architecture of slums and the nocturnal illuminated texture of a megalopolis, to name but a few of the emblematic images created by Gursky." Book in good condition but slight yellowing to page edges and fading to spine and cover edges. Seller Inventory # JN002

Andreas Gursky; Architecture
Seller: BWS BKS, Ferndale, NY, U.S.A.
Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: New. A Japanese power plant, dilapidated slums, the patterned facades of an apartment complex in Paris--in the work of German art photographer Andreas Gursky, born in 1955 in Leipzig, both private dwellings and the domains of industrial and political power are made into sometimes awe-inspiring and always overpowering forces of urban life. Gursky's signature mix of epic sweep and extreme detail is ideally suited to the portrayal of large-scale architecture, eliciting its most salient features: The capacity to dwarf, to impress, to alienate and to daunt. Where many of us will habitually blank out architectural environments which cannot be accommodated by the naked eye, Gursky's approach is to photograph them in order to render them comprehensible: "My preference for clear structures is the result of my desire, perhaps illusory, to keep track of things and maintain my grip on the world." Architecture is a collection of breathtaking images by the world-famous photographer, taken between 1988 and the present day, and treating all aspects of architectural structure, from the inside out. Each of the 75 color photographs is accompanied by commentary by renowned German authors Aleida Assmann, Jan Assmann, Elisabeth Bronfen, Sonja Fessel, Paul Nizon, Alfred Nordmann, Mirjam Schaub, Rudolf Schmitz, Monika Schmitz-Emans, Peter Schneemann and Thomas Zaunschirm. The resulting conjunction of text and image attractively demonstrates the depth and breadth of Gursky's concept of architecture. Seller Inventory # 77531
