Zeitgenössische Kunst – Schellmann 164. - Eines von 100 Exemplaren. - Die uns vorliegende Arbeit von Thomas Ruff zeigt ein anonymes Hotelbadezimmer in präziser, fast dokumentarischer Klarheit. Die sachlich-nüchterne Darstellung des Raumes mit seiner standardisierten Ästhetik, klaren Linien und der Lichtführung durch das Fenster verweist auf dessen kontinuierlichen Interesse an der medialen Repräsentation von Wirklichkeit. In Anlehnung an seine frühen Serien wie Interieurs oder Portraits untersucht er hier erneut, wie Alltagsarchitektur und visuelle Normierungen unser Raumempfinden prägen. Die Kombination aus technischer Perfektion und inhaltlicher Distanz führt zu einer nahezu entemotionalisierten Bildwirkung, die dennoch Fragen nach Intimität, Funktionalität und Individualität im standardisierten Raum aufwirft. Das Werk steht exemplarisch für Ruffs Konzeptfotografie, in der das Bild nicht nur Abbild, sondern Analyseinstrument ist.

Contemporary Art – Colour offset lithograph on Arches wove paper. Signed and numbered. - Sheet partially delicately creased in margins and edges partially slightly bumped. Verso some pale stains. Overall very good with a brilliant, velvety impression, the colour fresh and nuanced. - Schellmann 164. - One of 100 copies. - This work by Thomas Ruff shows an anonymous hotel bathroom with precise, almost documentary clarity. The matter-of-fact, sober depiction of the room with its standardised aesthetics, clear lines and the lighting through the window refers to his ongoing interest in the medial representation of reality. Following on from his early series such as Interiors or Portraits, here he once again examines how everyday architecture and visual standardisation shape our perception of space. The combination of technical perfection and distance in terms of content leads to an almost de-emotionalised pictorial effect, which nevertheless raises questions about intimacy, functionality and individuality in standardised space. The work is exemplary of Ruff's conceptual photography, in which the image is not only an image but also an instrument of analysis.
