Description

Thomas Struth’s “Museum Photographs” is a pivotal series that redefined the relationship between the viewer and the artwork. By capturing anonymous crowds in the world’s leading museums, Struth highlights the act of viewing as a contemporary performance. This expanded 2005 edition includes 26 additional images, some taken in situ at original historical locations like Venetian churches. The volume features essays by Hans Belting and Walter Grasskamp, providing a deep socio-cultural analysis of how art is perceived within museum architecture.
