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.

Meschac Gaba Inkjet Pigment Print Photograph African Conceptual Art Dollar Bill
Located in Surfside, FL
Meschac Gaba (Benin, 1961- ) Artist with American Inspiration: 4 World Financial Center, 2004, Meschac Gaba, pigmented inkjet print, Hand signed, dated and inscribed '15 des 30 Artiste d'inspiration Americaine' verso. Dimensions: approximately 17 1/2 x 42 1/2 in. (sheet), 19 x 44 in. (frame) Meshac Gaba employs an intervention on an American dollar bill in Artist with American Inspiration: 4 World Financial Center, swapping out our stately eagle for his smiling face portrait. One of Gaba’s sculptures appears on the left as well. Meschac Gaba (born 1961) is a Beninese conceptual artist based in Rotterdam and Cotonou. His installations of everyday objects whimsically juxtapose African and Western cultural identities and commerce. He is best known for The Museum of Contemporary African Art 1997–2002, an autobiographical 12-room installation acquired and displayed by the Tate Modern in 2013. He has also exhibited at the Studio Museum in Harlem and at the 2003 Venice Biennale. Meshac Gaba was born in Cotonou, Benin, in 1961. He had drifted from his training as a painter until a bag of decommissioned money cut into confetti led him to make paintings with the material. 1981-1985 He was a student at the artist studio of Zossou Gratien, Cotonou, Benin. Gaba became known for his installations of everyday objects that whimsically juxtapose African and Western cultural identities and commerce. He held a residency at the Amsterdam Rijksakademie in 1996 for two years. In the absence of opportunities to display his work in the city, he set out over the next five years to make his own museum. This piece became his seminal The Museum of Contemporary African Art 1997–2002, which consists of 12 rooms (some based on museum function and others personal) filled with objects made by Gaba. Throughout the exhibition ran a vein of confessional narrative about the artist's art travails between Africa and Europe The wedding room, which he made while in love, holds mementos as museum artifacts from Gaba's wedding to the Dutch curator Alexandra van Dongen in 2000 at the Amsterdam Stedelijk Museum. The Library room holds art...

Red Adidas
By Wolfgang Tillmans
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...
