Specialist note

"Andreas Gursky observes the human species in and out of doors as if through the eyes of an 'extraterrestrial being.' Magnetically attracted by the frequently paradoxical phenomenology of the structures and patterns that people invent for themselves, he stalks our planet, meeting up with unsuspecting and unsuspected images."
J. Burckhardt, 'Andreas Gursky: Painter of New Theaters of Action', in Parkett, No. 44, 1995, p. 73.
