Provenance Andrea Rosen, New York; Private Collection Literature B. Tiemschneider, ed., Wolfgang Tillmans Köln 1995, n.p (all illustrated) Artist Bio Wolfgang Tillmans German • 1968 Based in London and Berlin, photographer Wolfgang Tillmans is an expert at capturing the intricacies of interpersonal relationships. Focusing mainly on portraits and lifestyle photos, Tillmans has documented celebrity culture as well as LGBTQ communities and club culture. Though participating in the tradition of portraiture, Tillmans makes a point of producing non-representational work that pushes the limits of his chosen medium. He began experimenting with a Canon photocopier in the late 1980s and captured images that present surface and scale as subject matter. Tillmans' oeuvre took a pivotal shift with a public exhibition of new work at P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in 2006 — his first institutional show in America. The 24 never-before-seen images were large-scale and purely abstract, displaying objects in space, simultaneously buoyant and weighty. Demonstrating the gravitas of this series is quiet mind, a highlight from our New York 20th Century & Contemporary Art Evening Sale in May 2017, that engulfs the viewer and holds a visceral impact not dissimilar from Abstract Expressionist or Color Field painting.
