Product Details Hardcover 156 pages Hatje Cantz Publishers Published 2004 Book Description The German Stock Exchange in Frankfurt, headquartered in Germany and Luxembourg, has significantly extended its collection of photographs in the last year, acquiring primarily large-format works by upcoming artists. Hence the necessity to produce XL Photography 2, sequel to the two-year-old XL Photography. This volume features photographers who employ an unparalleled range of modes of design and expression, spanning the rather classical black-and-white photographs of Nicholas Nixon and the cool color photographs of Stephen Shore, as well as the innovative One-Minute Sculptures of Erwin Wurm. Under the artistic guidance of Jean-Christophe Ammann, the photographic collection of the German Stock Exchange in Frankfurt places established artists such as Bernd & Hilla Becher, Sebastião Selgado, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Rineke Dijkstra, Roni Horn, and Jürgen Teller next to younger, as yet-undiscovered talents. This luxuriously designed, large-scale picture book represents all significant positions taken by photography in the past ten years. Photographers include: Rineke Dijkstra, Roni Horn, Jüergen Teller, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Nicholas Nixon, Erwin Wurm, Sebastiao Salgado and Stephen Shore amongst others.
