Behold, Thomas Struth

“National Gallery 1, London” (1989) from Thomas Struth’s Museum Photographs series, is reproduced from the largest and most comprehensive survey of the artist’s work to date. “What lends Struth’s pictures their own individual and unmistakable character are the questions that he poses to us,” Thomas Weski writes, “questions about the relevance of public space, about the connecting moment of the cohesion of families, about the meaning of nature and culture, about the limits and possibilities of new technologies. Struth succeeds in realizing fundamental themes, such as the instability of societal structure or the fragility of human existence, in pictures of high formal elegance, which evoke simultaneously participation and empathy and permit beholders to become partners in the working through of social, ethical, and human values.” See more Staff Favorite Holiday Gift Books > > here! > >
