"In all my images I try to allow both, the threat and destruction but also the beauty." —Andreas Gursky Wishing a happy birthday to Andreas Gursky, who was born on this day, January 15, in Leipzig, Germany! On the occasion, we're sharing a conversation between the artist and Max Dax (@maxdax), which was one of the most popular interviews in "Gagosian Quarterly" last year. The two discuss the consequences of the pandemic on certain works, the roles of techno music and art history in Gursky’s practice, and the necessary balance of beauty and honesty in the contemporary.
