Art gallery Tom Cruise and Udo Lindenberg Large Scale Photographs

ART PHOTOGRAPHY

A veritable art industry for images has emerged in recent years in addition to traditional painting. The market for photographic art is expanding, and collectors are turning to it as a new source of investment.

Some photos earn in millions of dollars. For instance, the digitally altered 1999 painting "Rhein II" by Andreas Gursky, which sold for 3.1 million euros. Prices that are being paid for images today were previously only possible for some sorts of paintings. The industry is booming, and young, undiscovered performers are especially well-liked.

What, however, makes a photograph so valuable?

Large scale photographs for restaurants, bars and hotels

LARGE FORMAT PHOTOGRAPHS

Those large-format photographs are of particular interest for hotels and restaurants, where they achieve their full effect in large rooms such as a lobby or lounge and can be used as a stylistic device to give the room a certain mood. Most of my pictures are in black and white, although I also offer colour photographs, these are more difficult to place because the colors have to be reflected in the ambience of the installation site.

All large formats are only produced individually on customer request and are limited to a certain number. A certificate of authenticity is provided with the artwork, guaranteeing its authenticity and limitation.

This particular paparazzi image was riskily taken as I was climbing unsecuredly over Salzburg's roofs on a chilly November night in 2009 during the filming of the movie "Knight & Day". I hid behind chimneys to avoid being noticed since the film team, who was not being foolish, sent out helicopters equipped with searchlights to prevent covert shots. I had to thank God today for keeping me from slipping and dying because otherwise, I must have been utterly insane. This artwork in size approx. 180 cm x 120 cm is limited to five copies.

One of my favorite pictures is of this unexpected street scene on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. In the center of contemporary Los Angeles, we witness an elderly guy conversing with "Jesus," which at first looks pretty bizarre. During my time in Los Angeles, I frequently encountered "Jesus" in West Hollywood. One day, we struck up a conversation at my favorite establishment, the "Saddle Ranch Bar" on Sunset Boulevard, despite the fact that we were frequently stopped by onlookers who wanted to take pictures of him. He was a true Los Angeles celebrity and went by the name Kevin Short. Sadly, he passed away on December 13, 2017, at the young age of 57, much too soon. Getting to know him was a privilege for me. This photograph is dedicated to him. Artwork size is approx. 190 cm x 130 cm.

I came upon this outhouse on my first vacation to Ireland. I frequently view the world differently as a photographer and attempt to understand things. With this pattern, the traditional color-coding of genders, which seems to be the same everywhere - both in Germany, where I was raised, and here in Ireland and across the globe - immediately appealed to me. It amply demonstrates how we were raised to associate "pink" with females and "blue" with boys. This color scheme has so far appeared in our ideas. However, why is it this way? Is Barbie to blame for girls wearing pink and perhaps for males wearing blue jeans as craftsman trousers? There should have been instances where it was the complete reverse. This photo is intended to raise exactly these questions and to stimulate thought.

This photo of Tom Cruise measuring 120 x 190 cm is actually a paparazzi photo although it looks arranged and is limited to five copies. You can clearly see the photographer's handwriting here, who paid great attention to the perfect position of the lines on the ground.
But the photo still contains a secret, so the artist later mounted a hidden message in the picture, the code of which only a buyer is given.
Furthermore, if desired, it is even possible to place a hidden message in the photo that the buyer desires.

Little gifts keep the friendship alive. this street scene was photographed in berlin and the legs we see belong to a celebrity soccer player and a model. I'll tell the buyer who it is. Artwork size approx. 180 cm x 120 cm

This sculpture by Niall Bruton at Rosses Point / Sligo is a powerful representation of women's anxious waiting and hope that their husbands and sons will return alive from the rough Irish Sea.

„Point Nemo“ in the Pacific Ocean is the loneliest spot on earth. The distance from the mainland or islands is approximately 2.600 kilometers in all directions from this location. On this planet, there is nowhere to run further. How it should be there, far from any nation and humanity, where the ISS astronauts are momentarily closer than everyone else on the world?

Unfortunately, this is also where the biggest burial of space junk is and the ISS will also go down here one day.

Although this photo was really taken in the "Killary Fjord" in Connemara and not at „Point Nemo“, it symbolizes the luxury of solitude to me and „Point Nemo“ immediately came into my mind which is why I named this picture after it. Artwork size approx. 200 cm x 100 cm

Thanks to Robin Schreiner for letting me use the image for the mockup

"Ocean Blue"

This is one of my favourite photographs. The ultramarine blue has gained notoriety since Yves Klein. Klein was fully committed to the color blue and he even claimed the pure blue of the sky. I have to admit that there is something enchanting, alluring, and hard to get rid of about the color blue. That's what happened to me on a hot July day on the cliffs of Mallorca's coast as I aimed my telephoto lens at the vast blue ocean and photographed the lonely sailboat against the blue sea.

Artwork size approx. 300 cm x 150 cm

WHO IS HIDING?

When we talk about art, we can't ignore big, well-known artists. But one should not forget who inspired those famous artists and who pushed them to their creative work. Let's talk about the muses of well-known artists. One of them is Amanda Lear, whom I met in Saint Tropez at the time. Lear, herself a well-known painter, singer and presenter, was Salvador Dalí's muse.
