  • Catalogue Essay


    For all the panache of the finished product, however, Gursky's art has arisen
    from the restless, risky process of experiment, in which devil-may-care
    daring and naive curisoity mingle with sophisticated calculation and alert
    scrutiny of other art. Part of the achievement, and part of the challenge and
    pleasure of contemplating it, is that what first strikes us as a polished
    signature style, under strict control, in fact draws upon a great diversity of
    motives, currents, and methods.
    P. Galassi, "Gursky's World," Andreas Gursky, NewYork, 2001, p. 9
