Author: Tillmans, Wolfgang
Few artists mirror our recent past as profoundly as Wolfgang Tillmans. On the occasion of his exhibition at the Albertinum in Dresden, Tillmans has created a unique artist’s book that places his practice in a thought-provoking dialogue not only with itself, but with the past and present of East and West Germany. The book intertwines excerpts from a 1987 Dresden museum inventory with a 2003 exhibition catalogue in which Tillmans devised a speculative catalogue raisonné of his early work.Both of these titles, now out of print, are revived and remixed in this artist’s book which also includes a new conversation with Tillmans, where he reflects on his artistic beginnings and examines the social and aesthetic implications of his work today. All in all, it is a series of associative constellations in the career of Wolfgang Tillmans: an intimate self-exploration set against the backdrop of historical upheavals.
