I don't want to get over you
Wolfgang Tillmans German
Not on view
Tillmans first gained attention in the late 1980s for his deceptively simple, provocative glimpses of international youth culture, first published in the British style magazine i-D. More recently, he has applied his mastery of color to a new interest in abstraction, working in the same loose, improvisational mode that characterized his earlier portraits and still lifes. With their lush, high-key chromaticism and visceral emotional impact, Tillmans's best photographs aspire to the condition of the perfect three-minute pop song. This work is titled after a recording by the New York-based group The Magnetic Fields.
