John Spiak - Arizona State University Art Museum
An exhibition of seven works by German artist Andreas Gursky, world-renowned for his striking, large-scale images. Gursky's photographs use the large-scale format to show vast images of a world transformed by high-tech industry, global markets and slick commerce - a world in which the individual is pictured as tiny and insignificant. Some photographs in the exhibition are as large as 10 by 17 feet.
