Martin Hentschel, Andreas Gursky. Andreas Gursky's photographs are merciless in their vertiginous will to make every last tube of toothpaste count, to compel every constituent into legibility. His optical fanaticism is not an effect of specific consumerist critique so much as a desire to set before the eye what was deemed too much for the mind, pressing the extreme surfeit of the world's contents against its limits

Andreas Gursky, Kathedrale I, This image gives me a sense peace and wonder. It makes me wonder what the people who were putting it together thought, and what it would be like to see it in person.

Andreas Gursky (born 1955) has ranked for many years among the world's leading photographic artists. First published in 2008 and quickly going out of print, Works 80-08 unfurls the artist's oeuvre in all its encyclopedic glory. Gursky selected over 150 images from his archive of photographs especially for this publication, reaching back in time to his student days at the Folkwang Hochschule Essen, and then to his formative studies with Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Beginning with the earliest exposures, such as the "Desk Attendants" and other unpublished photographs, the publication follows his development through to the middle-eastern and Asian works of 2007/2008. Every single exposure in Gursky's encyclopedic morphology is a vital piece in the puzzle, which over some 28 years has expanded into one of the most breathtaking and vertiginous visions of our times.
Reviews about Andreas Gursky: Works 80-08 (English and German Edition) (6):
Anayajurus
GUrsky manipulates his pictures in ways that occur to few photographers, but the initial impact is of overwhelming 'natural' beauty & harmony. It takes a special talent to convey to so many observers the pleasure of abstraction.
Bine
I love this book both as an object and for the work it is showing. Great quality of the arist's work and the print.
Delari
This book is an exhibition catalogue and also a review of Gursky's work over 28 years - 1980- 2008. The two characterisitics of his photos are (i) view from a distance (ii) the opportunities this gives to portray repetition (of people, cars, desks, shoes, rain drops, roads, skyscra[er wndows, ceiling lights,etc..

One pair of photos shows an aerial view of vehicles and pedestrians and bus passengers in a traffic jam in Cairo. It is not cear what is happning - perhaps the people are vacating a broken down bus? Perhaps there has been a road accident. What seems to interest Gursky (and the viewer) is how the visual image of hundreds of identical or similar objects in spatial rhythm becomes an object in its own right. And how this comes to represent the character of a place - for example large numbers of canoeists on Lake Garda an Italian lake, windows in an HSBC office block in Hong Kong, a collection of Prada shoes, two enormous atriums in Atlanta and Times Square, hundreds of people walking across a glacier in the Engadin, hundreds of people at computer desks in a Hong Kong stock exchange.

I became interested in Andreas Gursky through seeing the exhibition of his work at the Vancover Art gallery in July 09. I then bought this book from Amazon on-line because I could not afford the $60 for the copy sold at the gallery. It was $25 - $30 cheaper to buy on line. Gursky is a most interesting artist - photographer.Someone whose work meant so much to me that I want to look at his pictures time and again - each time feeling I could learn from him something new.

Finally had a chance to look at this and sadly the pictures are all quite small. Most of the horizontal pictures are reproduced on a single page, with white space around them, so maybe 4 x 6 inches? But there is so much going on in the photos it's all hard to see. Because of the small reproductions I give this book only 2 stars.
Villo
This book is really well done. The paper is awesome and the cover, is really beautiful and has a good touch. The work of Andreas Gursky is really complex and vast. This retrospective shows a well done extract of 20 years of photographic work
Aria
This book covers Gursky very well. The hardbound cover is linen and very nice. The printing quality is also very good. But my main issue is that many of the images span two pages and since the book is relatively thick, you can't really see the entire image, at least to the fullest effect. It's a little annoying and has me searching out another book to complement. Also, the dimensions could be larger to better see the detail in Gursky's work. Despite the issues, it's still a book to own, just because of how broad it is.
