Wolfgang Tillmans work is extremely influential-not only for his time, but also for our current generation. Tillmans career is vast and diverse, subjects ranging from still life’s to portraits of friends and celebrities, subtly alluding to his interest in issues such as homelessness, racism, and gay rights. It’s apparent his work has influenced artists like Ryan McGinley and Jeurgan Teller, only to name a few. It’s the same sort of blankness in Teller’s work & the same hedonistic nakedness McGinley’s work processes, which may allude to Tillmans.
“Co-organized by the hammer museum and the museum
of contemporary art, chicago, the exhibition is the first
major U.S. retrospective of the work of german artist
wolfgang tillmans. the exhibition featured approximately
300 photographs, installations, and video spanning
tilmans’ entire career.”
