Wolfgang Tillmans is internationally recognized as one of the most significant artists to emerge from London during the 1990s. He approaches his work with a democratic eye and a singular style that rejects the traditional hierarchy of subject matter. His photographs present deceptively casual views of people caught at their most unguarded moments as well as often overlooked subjects and moments in everyday life.

Tillmans’s work challenges traditional photography and creates visually dynamic reflections of contemporary life in distinctive installations that are created specifically for each venue. Mixing framed and unframed photographs in his presentation, the artist draws out relationships within the body of images as well as associations suggested by the individual pictures. 

His highly distinctive installations, in which photographs, inkjet prints, and color photocopies are affixed in deliberate, yet seemingly casual, arrangements on the walls, create a variety of physical and emotional relationships with the viewer based on placement and scale. The vast range of his images thus becomes an ongoing palette that he uses repeatedly as a way to rearrange and reinterpret his photographic vision. 

Wolfgang Tillmans was born August 15, 1968 in Remscheid in Germany. Tillmans lived and worked in Hamburg at the end of the 1980s before moving to England. He studied at Bournemouth and Poole College of Art from 1990 to 1992. Since 1996 he has lived and worked in London. He won the Turner Prize in 2000. He has exhibited internationally.
