The large, vivid, provocative, and surprising color photographs by German photographer Andreas Gursky present overwhelming images of the contemporary world: high-tech industries, international markets, giant sports, fast-paced tourism, and sophisticated commerce. From his native Germany to distant locations such as Hong Kong, Brasilia, Cairo, New York, Shanghai, Stockholm, Tokyo, Paris, Singapore, and Los Angeles, Gursky, who continues to pursue the spirit of the times (Zeitgeist), has been highly acclaimed at the forefront of contemporary art with his refined and unique style that draws on various ideas, precedents, and techniques. This large book, produced in collaboration with the artist himself, contains beautiful color illustrations, large-format details across double-page spreads, and a wealth of related illustrations, providing an overview of his entire body of work. This is the first in-depth study of Gursky's art in English, and the book was published in conjunction with a large-scale retrospective exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
