Biography
Thomas Ruff was born in 1958 in Zell am Harmersbach. He lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany. He studied photography from 1977 to 1985 with Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. A leading figure at the renowned Düsseldorf School of Photography, alongside fellow students such as Candida Höfer, Andreas Gursky, Axel Hütte and Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff became famous primarily for his portraits.
Whether through the recovery of pre-existing images or through the use of digital technology, Thomas Ruff reveals the current disconnect between the subject and their image, and their impossible claim to identification and authenticity.
The initiator of large format, Thomas Ruff is undoubtedly one of the heavyweights in the contemporary photography market.
