Trip to London, Andreas Gursky Exhibition at the Southbank Centre






  


Andreas Gursky outside of the Haward Gallery at the Southbank Centre 






This is the gallery in which his work was displayed, it was such a good space and I thought that the large prints were hung really well and it was so good to see his work and get up really close to it as opposed to looking at it in a book or online.
Some of his work and certain things he's changed whilst editing can almost make them look like an abstract or minimalist painting.  


                                      











These are the pictures I took whilst walking around the exhibition  



Andreas Gursky, Siemens Karlsruhe 1991 colour coupler print
175.5 x 205.5 cm (69 1/8 x 80 7/8 in)






 Toys R Us, 1999




Kodak, 1995

This Kodak building almost looks like it could be a model, but he would've given this effect after editing.  





Tokio, Borse 1990

I really like how some people in this picture are moving quite fast so you can see the motion blur, then somebody next to them is stood completely still so they're in focus  









Andreas Gursky, 99 Cent II, C-Print, diasec, 207x325x6.2cm, 1999/2009






Andreas Gursky, Les Mées, 2016, C-Print, 220.9 x 367.2 x 6.2 cm






Andreas Gursky, Salerno, 1990







Andreas Gursky, Bahrain I, 2005, C-Print, 302.2 x 219.6 x 6.2 cm. 





Andreas Gursky, Amazon, 2016, inkjet print, 2.1 x 4.1 m.







Andreas Gursky, May Day IV 2000, remastered 2014


 The viewpoint this image is great it allows you to see right into where there are hundreds of people dancing at a really big event (a rave).
The people are a lot larger in the foreground and get smaller in the background but you're able to see whats happening as you look into the crowd.  








Andreas Gursky, Utah 2017





This is one of my favorite pieces of his work the motion blur almost looks like it is taken from 
a moving vehicle, you can also see the metal safety barrier which would be on the side of the road, also the two small black lines across the center give the impression of something has been passed at quite a speed.
