Four by Gursky

I remember seeing the last three at SFMOMA a few years ago, I wonder if there are digital versions out there that retain more of the details of the originals.

This was in New York back when I used to live there. Why the Gursky now, Ritik? I think you should try to establish a little more context.

JC - Yeah, I saw them when they were showing at MoMA in NYC and recently saw the Shanghai hotel lobby photo at the ICA in Boston.

I agree higher resolution images would have been better. Admittedly, I just quickly grabbed a few of my favorite photos in order to get a post out. Artnet (www.artnet.com) has a pretty broad, if not super high res selection.

Also, as penance, I offer this kind of strange Gursky takedown from New York Magazine (http://nymag.com/arts/art/reviews/31785/)

KS - Yeah, sorry for the lack of context. In this case, it was no more or less than wanting to post something and not having much time to write

God, Ritik. Put your back into this thing?

Sweet, thanks for the site tip, I definitely like the images regardless of the resolution, not trying to criticize your selections.

The takedown did seem a little strange, perhaps a lack of focus.

Especially given how cool the accompanying photo in New York Magazine spread actually was. People need to stop obsessing...
