Description

Thomas Ruff: Transforming Photography by Enwezor, Okwui (Hardcover) This comprehensive monograph presents a selection of Thomas Ruff's most well-known works, as well as his newer Tripe/Ruff series. The artist's ongoing investigation into the status of the image in contemporary culture is showcased through his use of various photographic genres, including portraiture, the nude, and landscape and architectural photography. Ruff's work has redefined photography's conceptual possibilities, capturing and challenging the essence of the medium as a means for visual experience. The book includes a conversation between Ruff and Okwui Enwezor, edited for this volume, which provides an engaging introduction to the artist's practice and inspiration. Published on the occasion of Ruff's solo exhibition at David Zwirner, Hong Kong, in 2019, this bilingual English/traditional Chinese edition offers a unique insight into the artist's work.
