About the Artist
German photo artist Thomas Ruff (born 1958) is a master of conceptual serial photography and a tireless innovator. Ruff has a particular fascination with photographic techniques that appear to erase or leave out the artist’s hand, techniques often designed for military or scientific purposes. The numerous photographic series of Thomas Ruff are consistently compelling. He made a name for himself in the early eighties with oversized, superrealistic color portraits of his artist friends and as a pioneer of the Diasec process used to mount photographic images onto acrylic glass, thereby obviating frames, liberating photography from the print gallery and paving the way to the “grand gallery” museum walls for large-format photos. Works from Thomas Ruff’s large-format series, beginning with his small Interiors, the large Portraits, his Architectural Photos, the Starry Skies, his abstract Substrata, the Nudes, Stellar Landscapes, l.m.v.d.r., Machines, Substrate, jpgs. Cycles, Negatives, +++press are among the most important discoveries in contemporary photography of today.
