Quoted By:
Gursky is an amazing photographer but it's kind of bullshit because he happened to be born in the time and place to be educated by the heirs of the Walker Evans lineage adored by MOMA. His early stuff is just a very skilled version of what many of us might do, but the inertia of his pedigree eventually allowed for unprecedented access to restricted places and no financial limitations.
Still, the world would be a better place if the masses were forced to mentally engage with his work.
