Description
This photographic print by renowned German artist Thomas Ruff, "Gloire au grand Jacques Chirac", offers a compelling and ambiguous commentary on political power and media imagery.
Hand-signed, dated, and numbered on the reverse - visible through plexiglas back.
Published by Texte zur Kunst, Berlin.
The work references French President Jacques Chirac and his controversial role in resuming nuclear testing during the 1990s. The subtitle, Chiracs Kampf für das Verbot von Nuklearversuchen ( Chiracs Struggle for the Ban on Nuclear Tests ), adds to the tension between critique and parody.
Professionally framed in our own frame-shop, floated in a custom-made, acid-free passe-partout, in a hand-crafted, wooden frame with Plexiglas® Optical HC, scratch-resistant and UV-protected.

Presentation
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.
