Softcover. Condizione: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 192 pages, 185 color illustrations - In Conor Donlon, Wolfgang Tillmans (born 1968) chronicles East London s art scene and nightlife of the early 2000s, as well as his friendship with collaborator and artist Conor Donlon. The book sees Donlon s appearance and style changing, as well as his backdrops: a 2003 demonstration against George W. Bush s state visit; a picnic at the park after an opening at Tillmans exhibition space Between Bridges; the bright yellow walls of Tillmans and Donlon s home; long-gone LGBT clubs The Ghetto and The Joiners Arm; and quieter moments spent talking in the studio and around town. Tillmans photographs are at once intimate and emblematic of a flourishing arts era, where both artists work gained momentum. The Guardian s culture editor Alex Needham introduces the work with an essay about Donlon s initial role as Tillmans assistant, contextualizing the artists collaboration and the inception of London independent bookstore Donlon Books in 2008.
