AutoWerke II is a commissioned photographic project using 'automobile' as its theme. Ten European artists of international renown were invited to create new, original contributions on the topic, using film or photography. The project was commissioned by BMW Bank, and it was made possible to a large degree by BMW opening its gates to the artists. Its outcome consists of highly individual works offering a cross-section of contemporary photography; powerful artistic visions that range from Thomas Demand's abstracting spatial aesthetics to the concrete critical approach of Ursula Rogg. The works present fascinating insights into a whole range of different contexts related to the automobile as a (dream) object. They show the people who create the automobiles, the production sites and, again and again, the mobility gained in its various cultural and aesthetic dimensions.

Seller's Description:
Used-Very Good. For AutoWork, two teams of curators in the United States and Germany invited internationally renowned artists to work with the BMW group's corporate identity--in the widest sense of the term: its employees, products, customers, work processes and image, using both photography and film. The artists were granted absolute artistic freedom and complete autonomy. Included among the project's participants in Germany are Heike Baranowsky, Thomas Struth, Rineke Dijkstra, Thomas Demand, Nina Fischer & Maroan El Sani, Candida H+fer, Boris Michailov, Johannes Muggenthaler, Ursula Rogg, and Alexander Timtschenko. Included among the project's participants in the US are Sharon Lockhart, Noritoshi Hirakawa, Wolfgang Tillmans, Beat Streuli, Todd Eberle, Glenn Ligon, Catherine Opie, Paul Searight, and Gillian Wearing. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. Wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.
