Photographer Wolfgang Tillmans Goes Abstract
After making his name documenting European youth subcultures, the German
artist Wolfgang Tillmans turned to nonrepresentational images that played with the medium of photography in the late nineties. Now collected in
Wolfgang Tillmans: Abstract Pictures (
Hatje Cantz, $75),
the often painterly results range from Rothko-esque color fields to
sensuous, inky explosions.
Wolfgang Tillmans: Abstract Pictures
