Hailing from Germany, Andreas Gursky has long been one of the most revered names in contemporary photography. In his images, Gursky captures the repeated patterns of cityscapes on such a massive scale that they almost appear abstract.
This exhibition, which is Gursky¡¯s first solo exhibition in Japan, features around 65 works spanning the artist¡¯s career. Consisting of both earlier and recent pieces, the show includes some of Gursky¡¯s iconic images, such as ¡°99 Cent¡± (1999), ¡°Tokyo Stock Exchange¡± (1990) and ¡°Rhine II,¡± which famously fetched more than $4 million at an auction in 2011; July 3-Sept. 16
