Published: 2007 Publisher: Museum für Neue Kunst Language: German/English Hardcover, sewn binding, 80 pages Size: 21.3 x 30.1 x 1.2 cm This book was published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Museum für Neue Kunst in Freiberg, eastern Germany, in 2009. Thomas Ruff's work occupies a prominent position in contemporary photography. From 1977 to 1985, Ruff studied under Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. From 2000 to 2006, he succeeded the Bechers as a professor of photography. Since gaining international fame in the late 1980s with his portrait series, Ruff has explored the conditions of his creative medium through various series of works. In addition to series such as "Nights," "Houses," "Stars," "Stereoscopy," "Substrate," and "Nudes," his recent works include "JPEG" and "Cassini." This exhibition and catalog focus on the Black Forest, a recurring motif and starting point for Ruff's work, and the multifaceted landscape theme within his complex pictorial world. Currently difficult to obtain, so how about it for those looking for it... Thank you for viewing.
