Wolfgang Tillmans: Freedom From The Known

The exhibition focuses on the artist’s purely abstract photographs, and explores the presence abstraction has had within his figurative and representational work. Twenty-four of the twenty-five large-scale works on view were produced specifically for this exhibition and have never before been shown.

The German-born and London-based Tillmans (b. 1968) has been the subject of numerous museum and gallery exhibitions over the past fifteen years. He was a recipient of the prestigious Turner Prize in 2000, awarded by Tate Britain. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago will present his first American museum retrospective opening on 20 May 2006.
