Andreas Gursky. The Most Expensive Photographer
Posted in Home by Yahor | Tags: Andreas GurskyAndreas Gursky holds the record for highest price paid at auction for a single photographic image. His print ’99 Cent II, Diptych’ sold for $3.3 million at Sotheby’s, London.
He was born in Leipzig in 1955, but he grew up in Düsseldorf, the son of a commercial photographer. In the early 1980s, at Germany’s State Art Academy, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Gursky received strong training and influence from his teachers Hilla and Bernd Becher, a photographic team known for their distinctive, dispassionate method of systematically cataloging industrial machinery. A similar approach may be found in Gursky’s methodical approach to his own, larger-scale photography.

There is a mistake in your page: the picture with all the workers dressed up in pink,
is not an Andreas Gursky’s picture.
It belongs to Edward Burtinsky, a Canadian photographer.
Please notice that ! thanks.
I like your site anyway.
