Wolfgang Tillmans: Portraits
Wolfgang Tillmans
D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers
, 2002
For artist Wolfgang Tillmans, portraiture is a collaborative process between photographer and accomplice. While Tillmans' photographs are often referred to as casual, they are actually the result of a carefully constructed process of engagement with his models.

Since winning the Turner Prize in 2000 for his 1990s oeuvre of portraits and snapshots, German-born photographer Wolfgang Tillmans has increasingly gravitated towards the abstract and material-specific properties of his medium. Following Blushes , the Freischwimmer series and the monochromatic Silver series, his most recent abstract works--of ...

A much-needed reprint of London photographer Wolfgang Tillmans' first book--published in 1995 and long out of print--this atmospheric, rhythmic compilation of black-and-white images combines portraits of youth culture, landscapes, city scenes, slogans, clippings from newspapers and book illustrations, neatly demonstrating the development of ...
Burg
Wolfgang Tillmans
Benedikt Taschen Verlag
, 1998
Accept no substitutes. Wolfgang Tillmans could well be the coolest photographer on the planet, and here's the evidence. Always imitated, never bettered, he's the lens-meister of the zeitgeist, the photo-journo who went artside, a man in constant demand, moving effortlessly from magazine to fashion shoot to gallery retrospective. He creates ...

A refreshing break from the norm
Finally, an exhibition about street photography OUTSIDE of New York City. Although there was certainly a bias for American photographers, one can argue that, as far as the Western world is concerned, America essentially invented the "street" aesthetic (thanks, ...

Verlag Fur Moderne Kunst Nurnberg

Would not recommend it.
I was very disappointed in this book. Although it contains a few samples of work of really distinguished photographers, like James Nachtwey for instance, overall the choice of photographs included in this book is a big question mark, IMO. I'm dead certain that ...
