Andreas Gursky

If you didn't already know - German photographer, Andreas Gursky, does vast landscape color photographs of man-made spaces - industrial buildings, office lobbies, factory assembly lines and interiors of big-box retailers (megastores). Gursky highlights the nature and abstract beauty of symmetry, creating a unique perspective on the concept of space.




The above photograph, 99 Cent II Diptychon, depicts the colorful rows of different branded food in a supermarket. The two-part photograph is the most expensive photograph in the world auctioned for $3.34 million on February 7, 2007.
