MAI 36 GALERIE, ZURICH - 2011 THOMAS RUFF LWL Münster

Thomas Ruff is one of the most internationally well known contemporary German photographers. Over the course of two dozen photography series, he has explored and defined the medium's limits like no other contemporary artist. The exhibition in the LWL-Landesmuseum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte focuses specifically on four of Thomas Ruff's series: the stars series, produced between 1989 and 1992, zycles from 2007, the cassini series from 2008/2009, and recent work from the ma.r.s. series, shown now for the first time in an institutional context. Individual works from other series that explore a similar theme are also shown.
