Specialist note

“You never notice arbitrary details in my work. On a formal level, countless interrelated micro and macrostructures are woven together, determined by an overall organizational principle. A closed microcosm which, thanks to my distanced attitude towards my subject, allows the viewer to recognize the hinges that hold the system together.”—A. GURSKY,quoted in L. Cooke, ‘Andreas Gursky: Visionary (Per)Versions’, in Andreas Gursky: Photographs from 1984 to the Present, ed. M.L. Syring, exh. cat., Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Munich 1998, p. 14
