Hotfoot it down to Christie’s London to see a beautiful collection of fifteen photographs by German photography giant Wolfgang Tillmans, all coming to the market for the first time from a well-established private collection. This is an exclusive chance to preview the works ahead of going up for auction during Christie’s Post-War and Contemporary sale, opening online for bids from 26 February with a live auction on 6 March.

The Way We Look includes an iconic Tillmans studio portrait of Kate Moss wearing a red dress – Kate sitting – estimated at 12 – 18,000 GBP. Other works – all from the 1990s, one of Tillmans’ most prolific and important periods – move between the artist’s observations of social political transformations of the decade, and his inimate, apparently desultory still life scenes, to early experiments with camera-less photography and abstraction that became increasingly important in his later oeuvre.

We’re intrigued to see what these reach at auction later this month. Meanwhile, this is a chance to get a rare and concise insight into the Turner-Prize winning artist’s world and ongoing, intertwined interests. As the artist once said: “within me it is all one continuum. I’m not just drifting around, taking a picture here and there. Each type of work is carefully considered in its own right. On the other hand, the great advantage is my liberty to do all these things.”
