The

Gurskys work in the United
States, this exhibition will
survey the evolution of his
work from 1984 to 2000,
presenting many
photographs not yet
exhibited in this country
including several very recent works.
Gurskys photographs
explore the relationships between the documentary and the
personal-as well as notions of order and disorder-often
focusing on subjects such as tourism, factories, stock
exchanges, and manifestations of global culture such as
rave concerts.
This exhibition was organized by The Museum of Modern Art, New York,
with generous grants from the William Randolph Hearst Endowment
Fund. The accompanying publication is made possible by the John
Szarkowski Publications Fund.
