Thomas Struth — 1977 – 2002

This compre­hen­sive mono­graph presents the first full survey of Thomas Struth’s work, cover­ing over two decades of photog­ra­phy from 1977 to 2002. Struth, one of the most acclaimed photog­ra­phers of his gener­a­tion, is known for his sharply focused explo­ration of urban archi­tec­ture, inti­mate family portraits, and expan­sive ​“museum pictures” and land­scapes — all rendered in a restrained yet formally precise visual language.

Published on the occa­sion of a major retro­spec­tive orga­nized by the Dallas Museum of Art, this volume show­cases the full range of Struth’s output — from his early black-and-white streetscapes to large-scale color works that depict people and places with clin­i­cal clarity and subtle emotional depth. Essays by Charles Wylie, Maria Morris Hambourg, Douglas Eklund, and Ann Gold­stein provide deep insight into Struth’s concep­tual foun­da­tions, his posi­tion within the Düssel­dorf School, and his unique contri­bu­tions to the medium of photography.

A beau­ti­fully produced volume that stands as a defin­i­tive refer­ence on Struth’s work, this first edition is essen­tial for collec­tors of contem­po­rary photog­ra­phy and anyone inter­ested in the visual culture of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
