Andreas gursky photographer biography video

Andreas Gursky is a German photographer whose work is characterized by tension between clarity and the formal-nature of his photographs and the ambiguous meaning they display.

His art has been compared to that of Thomas Struth and Hofer Candida, who were influenced by the documentary approach of Hill and Bernd Becher.

Gursky’s work has increased globally since the early 1980s on a wide range of subjects. He is widely known for his large format architecture work and landscaping color photographs that employ a high point of view.

He now lives and works in Dusseldorf Germany.
