MUNICH, GERMANY.- For the first time in nine years, Andreas Gursky will show his works in a museum context in Germany in a solo exhibition. The Düsseldorf artist will present 46 large format works. The majority of these works was created following his much-acclaimed exhibition in New York’s Museum of Modern Art in 2001. The presentation contains works from 20 years of artistic production: the oldest work in the exhibition dates from 1987, the newest from 2007. The largest exhibition of the artist’s works to date will be on view in the east wing of the Haus der Kunst, covering an area of 1,800 square meters. Andreas Gursky has also re-interpreted familiar motifs using current digital technology for this exhibition and has enlarged the standard format of his images as well, tailoring them especially to the exhibition situation. The largest images now measure 188 x 508 cm. (www.Artdaily.org)
