Dossier: Contemporary Photography

The current trend is unequivocal. Staged photography fetches top prices on the art market. Buyers no longer demand photographs that display reality in its purity, but edited reality that is in line with the tradition of fine arts and creates a universal union that photography has been denied for a long time. The German photographer Andreas Gursky is setting the trend and is longing for his humble artistic beginnings, a time where his work was ‘analog’, unedited and his photographs did not suffer from alienation. This dossier showcases the famous German photographer and the revival of the German photography art market and sheds light on the people behind the scenes; the artists, collectors, gallery owners, and curators.
