From May 25th, 2023 to January 7th, 2024, the MAST Foundation in Bologna is hosting the exhibition Andreas Gursky. Visual Spaces of Today, curated by Urs Stahel and photographer Andreas Gursky himself, considered by many to be one of the greatest artists of our time.
On display are as many as 40 images spanning a range of time from his early works (Krefeld, Hühner, 1989) to his more recent production (V&R II and V&R III, 2022), travelling great lengths, from Salerno (1990) to Hong Kong (2020), and combining the modern tourism industry (Rimini, 2003) with age-old production processes (Salinas, 2021).
Since the 1990s, his name has been associated with large-scale photography. His images have become iconic representations of the contemporary world and have contributed to elevating the status of photography to an art form, thus turning it into a collector’s item for museums and private collections.
