{"title":"Andreas Gursky","description":"\u003cp\u003eAndreas Gursky (b. 1955, Leipzig) is a German photographer whose large-format works engage with globalisation, mass culture, architecture, and the visual logic of contemporary systems. Trained at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Bernd and Hilla Becher, his practice combines documentary distance with digital construction to produce images of extraordinary scale and density. Key works include \u003cem\u003eRhein II\u003c\/em\u003e (1999), \u003cem\u003e99 Cent\u003c\/em\u003e (1999), and \u003cem\u003eLove Parade\u003c\/em\u003e (2001).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGursky has exhibited at Matthew Marks Gallery, New York; Sprüth Magers, London and Berlin; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and major institutions internationally.

It records the moment of institutional circulation around the work: title, date, medium, gallery credit, and distribution format. A monumental photograph becomes a retained paper unit.
