Louisiana Museum of Modern Art opens the exhibition year 2012 with a presentation of around 40 giant photographs and a number of smaller works created by the world-famous German photographer Andreas Gursky (b. 1955 in Leipzig and living in Düsseldorf). Andreas Gursky’s photographs are the answer of art to ‘extreme sports’. His works grow out of hours of effort interweaving hundreds of pictures taken with the most sophisticated equipment, often from extreme positions, into one image. With their visual mastery, the works of Andreas Gursky insist on the vast, fascinating power of the image and stand as a modern proposal for what beauty may be.
