Welcome to Berlin, Wolfgang Tillmans!

After 23 years in London, German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans moved back to Germany. He has just made Berlin his new home, and also opened his gallery “Between Bridges” there. Actually, the gallery also moved from London (where it started in 2006 as a non-profit exhibition space in the ground floor of Tillmans' studio) to Berlin. Tillmans won the Turner Prize in 2000 – the first photographer ever to receive that award. He's known for his observing photographs of everyday objects and situations, and in particular his very personal portraits (lately also for amazing abstract photographic works).
