Being the creator of the most expensive photograph sold at auction Gursky had already been someone i had looked at in some detail. His work is huge,both physically and in terms of statement. His techniques used to stitch together some parts make them more of composites than straight forward photographs but i think that just add to the amount of work and attention to deatil that goes into each piece.
"Andreas Gursky is a German visual artist known for his large format architecture and landscape color photographs, often employing a high point of view. Visually, Gursky is drawn to large, anonymous, man-made spaces—high-rise facades at night, office lobbies, stock exchanges and the interiors of big box retailers."
