Born in 1968, the young German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans has created an impressive list of accomplishments, most important of which is the designation of being the first German-born artist, and first photographer, ever to be awarded Britain's prestigious Turner Prize. This new, substantial monograph presents a wide variety of Tillmans' work, particularly the many unpublished, abstract pieces including photograms, aerial cityscapes, and works that have been highly manipulated during the printing process.
