Thomas Struth

Struth's thematic series, completed over the course of decades, occupy the interstices between documentation and interpretation, between social study and latent psychological significance. The artist?s meticulous method allies his oeuvre not only with the history of classical photography but also ? by constantly questioning his own representational techniques ? with contemporary art as well. This book accompanies the first major European retrospective, and includes his street and city photographs, pictures of families, his Museum Photographs and nature studies, and images from the worlds of science and research.
