Urban Spaces: Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Thomas Ruff, Thomas Struth, presents a selection of works produced by the outstanding artists from the early Eighties to nowadays.

Edited in collaboration with Ediciones Lariviere, the catalogue gives an intense remark on the developments of the contemporary city through the reproductions of the artworks, which create an intense dialogue with the essays selected for the occasion. Ludovico Pratesi, curator of the exhibition, and Paolo Perulli explain the complexity of the city life; the texts by Armin Zweite and Valeria González depict the path of the artists during their years in the Düsseldorf School, their work with the teachers, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and the contribution of their works in the international art context.

The edition is enhanced with special sections dedicated to each one of the artists, including unpublished interviews and biographies that exemplify the diversity, contradictions and complexity of the city theme through contemporary urban life.

This catalogue is intended as a fundamental piece for the understanding of contemporary art and its reflections in the present context.

The bilingual edition includes a Cd with the engligh texts.
