Wolfgang Tillmans - Signed Exhibition Poster

2006

This signed exhibition poster was created for "Das achte Feld” (The Eighth Field), a groundbreaking exhibition at Museum Ludwig in Cologne, 2006. Hand signed by Wolfgang Tillmans, in the center of the photo. Sheet size : 84,1 x 59.4 cm. The exhibition explored themes of gender, sexuality, desire, and identity in art since 1960, featuring works by leading contemporary artists engaged with these subjects.

The poster features a striking and bold photographic composition, characteristic of the visual language of Wolfgang Tillmans, one of the most influential photographers of his generation. His work is renowned for its raw, intimate, and sometimes provocative approach to the human body, social identity, and queer culture. The tense, almost sculptural body positioning in the image reflects the complexity of gender and desire, key themes examined in the exhibition.

Wolfgang Tillmans has gained international recognition for his innovative photography and was the first photographer to win the prestigious Turner Prize in 2000. His work is exhibited in major museums worldwide, including Tate Modern, MoMA, and Centre Pompidou. "Das achte Feld" was a landmark exhibition in the history of queer art and gender studies, bringing together artistic expression and social reflection.
