The lure of the street May 31, 2008
The domestic expression of this tendency is inoffensively represented by Wolfgang Tillmans and Gillian Wearing, both of whom are Turner prize-winners. To his credit, Tillmans's pictures - faces and armpits on a crowded tube - are modest in ambition and scale. (Guardian Unlimited -- Arts)
All human life May 21, 2008
In 2000, Wolfgang Tillmans insinuated his camera between the colliding bodies on crowded London Underground trains. The images are a wealth of accidental, fragmentary intimacies. (Guardian Unlimited -- Arts)

The winner takes it all in Turner show Dec 7, 2007
Trends which emerge here are picked up in the art schools: Douglas Gordon, the first artist to win for video work in 1996, spawned hundreds of sub-par film works, and the echoes of Wolfgang Tillmans, who won with photographs in 2000, are still cropping up in degree shows. To this canon we now add Wallinger's bear, somewhere to the left of Gillian Wearing when it comes to long films with nothing much happening. (Scotsman)
Art fair gives glitterati what they want - at a price Oct 13, 2007
Maureen Paley, who represents artists such as the Turner prizewinner Wolfgang Tillmans from her east London gallery, said business at Frieze had been "extraordinary" and "very brisk". She said: "The art world is more global, and not as American-dependent, as it has been. There are so many more European and British collectors.". (Guardian Unlimited -- UK)
The Turner is not about beauty Oct 2, 2007
Seeing his bisected cow and calf - reconstructed by the artist for this show - is a shock: where is the sensitivity and beauty you see in Anish Kapoor's blue voids or Wolfgang Tillmans' tender photographs. And yet, forget the sensitivity, the beauty, the being good. (Guardian Unlimited)
Kanye West mixes manga and music Aug 1, 2007
Already up and running is Wolfgang Tillmans, who opened the exhibition space Between Bridges in east London last year. Tillmans says that the gallery, which focuses mostly on political art, "is for art that doesn't necessarily have a voice because the artists are either dead or of no commercial interest. I want to do things other galleries wouldn't be interested in doing.". (Guardian Unlimited)
An unfocused lens (Deborah K. Dietsch) May 19, 2007
Not so for Wolfgang Tillmans, whose photographs are on display at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. The German-born artist snaps people, landscapes, architecture -- you name it -- with no consistent theme, size or technique. (Washington Times)
Exhibit at Jewish Museum captures Israel’s pulse May 11, 2007
Wolfgang Tillmans s photograph of modern day Tel Aviv has a yellow, weathered tint, suggesting multiple layers of history ... Tinged in eerie yellow, like a weathered old photograph, Wolfgang Tillmans s Aufsicht (Yellow) seems to suggest the multiple layers of history embedded in that Israeli city. (Cleveland Jewish News, OH)
Ambiguity is essence of 'Beyond Image' Apr 14, 2007
Kristi Lippire tries too hard to start a conversation with photohistory in her sculptural renditions of images by William Eggleston and Wolfgang Tillmans. The results are clumsy and gratuitous. (Los Angeles Times)
How Tate and Frieze fuel London art boom Oct 7, 2006
Yet this street - so short the A-Z cannot accommodate its full name - houses two fashionable commercial galleries: the grand Maureen Paley and the uber-hip Herald Street (named for the road), not to mention a space run by Turner Prize-winning Wolfgang Tillmans. There are lots of streets like this in the area that fans out from Old Street to Bethnal Green. (Guardian Unlimited)
