wolfgang tillmans holds a grunge

Like the Seattle scene, Kate Moss in her cK period, and other emblematic icons of the grunge era, Wolfgang Tillmans’ photos—rough portraits of grimy German punks, dirty realist shots of lovely waifs for Vogue and i-D magazine—exemplified the aesthetic of the nineties. Now Tillmans is back—in fact, the summer of 2008 is turning into something of a renaissance for the first photographer to win the Turner Prize. One of Tillmans’ first collectors was the Polish-born advertising entrepreneur Christian Boros, who will give Tillmans’ work pride of place in the five-floor exhibition space he is opening in a renovated Berlin bunker in July. Nearby, a retrospective of Tillmans’ photography is on view at the Hamburger Banhof in August. And in London, Maureen Paley will have his work on display from tomorrow. Grunge lives.
