In 2000, he became the first photographer and first non-British artist to receive the \u003cstrong\u003eTurner Prize\u003c\/strong\u003e, further establishing the importance of his contribution to contemporary image-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Tillmans himself, the catalogue gathers the loose, intimate, and radically democratic image-world that defined his early work: \u003cstrong\u003eportraits of friends and subcultural life, still lifes, landscapes, abstractions, and images drawn from magazines and everyday life\u003c\/strong\u003e. These works are reproduced through the casual precision and non-hierarchical sequencing that became central to Tillmans' visual language, allowing seemingly ordinary images to occupy the same space as more formally or conceptually charged photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe catalogue draws on work made between the late 1980s and 1995, across \u003cstrong\u003eHamburg, London, New York, Los Angeles, Bournemouth,\u003c\/strong\u003e and beyond. Rather than presenting a conventional hierarchy of subjects, Tillmans' arrangement allows the photographs to establish relationships through proximity, rhythm, scale, and visual association. The result is a publication that functions not merely as a record of an exhibition, but as an extension of the artist's own approach to editing and display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e2008 reprint\u003c\/strong\u003e was produced as an initiative of \u003cstrong\u003eBeatrix Ruf\u003c\/strong\u003e, then Director and Curator of the Kunsthalle Zürich, using Tillmans' original design and print material. Published by \u003cstrong\u003eJRP|Ringier, Zurich\u003c\/strong\u003e, it preserves the structure and visual character of the original 1995 catalogue, making an important early institutional document of Tillmans' practice available in a later edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA significant publication for understanding the development of one of the most influential photographers of his generation, this volume remains an essential document of Tillmans' early image-world and of the exhibition that helped establish his institutional trajectory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"wolfgang tillmans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52368878862624,"sku":null,"price":377.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0878\/0202\/0128\/files\/tillmans-zurich-cover-intermission.jpg?v=1789606271","url":"https:\/\/intermissionbooks.com\/products\/wolfgang-tillmans-kunsthalle-zurich","provider":"intermission books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
