Wolfgang Tillmans Art

German, b. 1968

Wolfgang Tillmans is a contemporary German photographer. Emerging in the 1990s with his snapshot documentation of youths, clubs, and LGBTQ culture, Tillmans is a worthy successor to Nan Goldin. Captivated by his surroundings and circle of friends, his images are often more abstract and elusive than Goldin's, yet similarly document his experiences and encounters both within his domestic sphere and via travel.

Tillmans won the Turner Prize in 2000 and was one of the most provocative and contested recipients in its history. Not only was he the first photographer to ever win, but he was also the first winner born outside of the United Kingdom.

Red Adidas

Located in Toronto, Ontario
Wolfgang Tillmans (b. 1968) established his reputation in the mid '90s with his eclectic multi-format version of photography that documented the youth and clubs of his generation with a particular interest in LGBTQ culture and spaces. A worthy successor of Nan Goldin, Tilmans is similarly captivated by his surroundings and circle of friends, yet his images are often more abstract or indirect than Goldin's. Tillmans similarly documents his experiences and encounters both within his domestic sphere and via travel, often highlighting overlooked or idiosyncratic details of daily life. Tillmans won the prestigious British Turner Prize in 2000. He was one of the most provocative and contested recipients in its history. Not only was the artist the first photographer to ever win, but he was also the first winner born outside of the U.K. Tillmans' body of work is vast and holds no allegiance to genre, school or production methodology. Tillmans has worked in fashion photography, portraiture, still life, collage and installation. Part of his success and appeal is his mix and avoidance of hierarchies of medium and subject matter. Tillmans' photography frequently features clothing, specifically athletic wear and red clothing...
