Description from the seller
Thomas Ruff - Nudes
Rare First Edition, Harry N Abrams Inc, New York (2003)
Ruff has an uncanny feel for the look of the ordinary–in people, places, and objects. However, his brand of photographic objectivity is not that purportedly practiced by photojournalists. Rather, it is elicited by scanning the mundane for the telling particulars of aggregated detail, and by a reserved and skeptical curiosity towards photography's ultimate truthfulness.
Nudes, explores a genre new to the artist, while continuing many of his concerns. By altering these starkly aggressive images as he does, Ruff simultaneously returns to them a sense of dignity and beauty, while heightening an awareness of representation’s own manipulative promises and illusions.
In the gallery some pictures from the inside
A short two page introduction, Fully illustrated.
Seller's Story
Books are my great passion, which I have been collecting privately for decades with great love. I keep a vast assortment of thousands of volumes on photography, avant-garde, erotica, fashion and counterculture.
