Greifbar 105. 2020.
InkjetPrint on paper, on Dibond aluminum in the original frame.
Signed and numbered on a label on the reverse of the frame, as well as typographically dated, titled, numbered, and inscribed with technical information about the work. Unique work. The only other copy in existence is the artist's copy. 217 x 161 cm (85.4 x 63.3 in). Incl. the original frame: 225 x 170 cm (88,5 x 66,9 in).
• This abstract photo series is the result of a darkroom experiment that combines chance and deliberate manipulation.
• The monumental and fascinating impression of color lends "Greifbar 105" a painterly poetry.
• Unique piece—the only other print that exists is the artist's copy.
• Wolfgang Tillmans is one of the most influential contemporary photographers and won the prestigious Turner Prize in 2000.
• Wolfgang Tillman's acclaimed exhibition "Nothing could have prepared us - Everything could have prepared us" (June 13 to September 22, 2025) was the final event at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris before it closes for several years.
• Previously, he had been honored in major retrospectives, including at the Tate Modern in London in 2017 and at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2022.
PROVENANCE: David Zwirner Gallery, New York.
Private collection, North Rhine-Westphalia (acquired from the above in 2020).
