Old and useful article on Andreas Gursky and his work
Andreas Gursky: Making Things Clear
Art in America, June, 2001 by Edward Leffingwell
Excerpt:
Since 1987, Gursky has tended to shoot with a 4-by-5-inch or 5-by-7-inch view camera in the interests of clarity of focus and sharpness of detail. While he is known for his large images, one of the earliest works in the exhibition, the 1984 alpine landscape Klausenpass, is a relatively modest 36 by 32 inches or so, framed.(2) As Galassi relates the story of its making, Gursky, while traveling, had set aside his view camera for a more portable medium-format camera (producing a negative of 2 1/2 by 2 3/4 inches) that would still accommodate his interest in detail. He snapped the view at the request of his companions. Enlarging the image six months later, he discovered a dozen minuscule figures trekking along the slope of the pitched and craggy scene, the scattered figures enlivening the view and adding depth to the image.(3) The first plate in the show’s catalogue, Klausenpass represents an incidental photographic moment that seems pivotal in Gursky’s development: Olympian in its detached observation of the setting and the stilled activity found in its details, this strangely populated landscape presages the preoccupations of a number of the photographs to come.
