{"product_id":"andreas-gursky","title":"Andreas Gursky","description":"Famed worldwide for his epically proportioned photographs, Andreas Gursky is one of very few contemporary artists able to represent cultures of excessive information--which he does through images of supermarket wares, crowds, trash, architecture and nature. The extreme detail of Gursky's final image--achieved by digital restructuring--produces a vertiginous effect on the viewer, as it oscillates between total representation and total abstraction. It could be said that Gursky updates the eighteenth-century sublime for our times.\nThis publication surveys the artist's most recent creations, on display at the renowned Kunstmuseum Basel throughout the winter of 2007\/2008. Two new groups of works in particular, one on Formula 1 races and the other on the famous Arirang Festival (a closely choreographed mass spectacle in North Korea's capital of Pyongyang), are gathered here.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 3775720197\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.3775720197.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Söntgen, Beate|Zimmer, Nina|Bürgi, Bernhard Mendes|Gursky, Andreas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Ex library book with stickers and stamps.
