Thomas Struth - Museum Photographs - Schirmer/Mosel 1993

The Museum Photographs by German artist Thomas Struth, produced between 1989 and 1992, shows viewers looking at paintings exhibited in the world's major museums. The series raises many questions about the role of the viewer and our relationship to art history. The artist questions the museum spectacle that museums offer today, and uncovers the hidden links that people have with art. He underlines the relationship between visitors and works of art, painting and photography, past and present, documentary work and staging. Like a learned curator, Struth enhances an artistic heritage by preserving it through these photographs. This book contains 17 of these photographs.
