Thomas Struth 2009. C-print, 23.5 × 31.8 cm / 9.3 × 12.5 in. Signed and numbered. Edition of 100.

Madrid's Prado Museum, home of one of the largest and most important art collections in the world, in the spring of 2007 served as the setting for an unusual Spanish-German exhibition project. Thomas Struth, one of the leading figures of the Düsseldorf school of photography, had a selection of his notorious large-format Museum Photographs on display. Some of his photos, which had been shot shortly before in the Prado, were installed in the immediate vicinity of the originals, thereby provoking a peculiar mise en abyme effect (i.e., the sensation of standing between two mirrors). At its core, the series draws attention to the unexpected perceptions that the medium of photography can offer, in particular the different perceptions associated with photographic images taken in a museum – such as the various interactions taking place between the visitor/viewer and the museum space, exhibition and art on display. These interactions are made especially interesting through Struth's representation of Velazquez's famous Las Meninas, a painting which itself “operates" with inscrutable reflections, different spatial levels and the unequaled interplay of glances. Ultimately, this raises the question: Who is watching whom, and what is being watched?

Presentation

Thomas Struth is a German artist photographer born in 1954 in Geldern. He studied painting at the Staatlichen Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf - Academy where he later worked as a teacher - before moving towards photography in 1976. He was then one of the few pupils of Bernd and Hilla Becher. Thomas Struth organizes his artistic production in the form of series. A curious and jack-of-all-trades artist, he tackles different themes linked to nature, man and family. His first series are in black and white and represent streets, buildings. The photographer plays with symmetry and perspectives, emphasizing depth and lines. The gray tones and the not very marked contrasts make it possible to unify his photographs and to homogenize the landscapes. Conversely, his work on buildings accentuates contrasts, adding a mosaic effect to the scene. Man is represented in his modern environment, a new urban landscape. In 1980, he met the psychoanalyst Ingo Hartmann whose work and discussion led him to explore the universe of portraiture. Far from moving towards a traditional technique of fixed and frozen portrait, Thomas Struth wants to bring his character to life. The idea is to breathe movement into the very heart of the cliché by addressing the social themes dear to the artist and the psychoanalyst. From now on, the portrait is dependent on the socio-cultural environment in which it evolves. The photographer anchors his models in reality, refusing an insane above-ground photography. The modern world is represented in all its glory. Thomas Struth perfectly perceives the great changes of our century, and brilliantly reports their effects on the landscapes and on the inhabitants. The photographer's work bears witness to the urban transition, ranging from the development of concrete constructions to that of railways. Architecture therefore occupies a prominent place in his work, since it is an indicator of human evolution. Internationally recognized artist Thomas Struth is considered one of the best German photographic artists of his time. In 1990, he received the Werner Mantz Prize and participated in the Venice Biennale. Two years later he presented his work at the Documenta IX exhibition. In 1997, the Spectrum Prize completed the list of its awards.
