Nudes: one plate
A digitally manipulated photograph from Thomas Ruff's celebrated *Nudes* series, in which the artist sourced explicit imagery from the internet and subjected it to blurring, pixelation, and chromatic distortion, transforming pornographic content into abstracted, painterly compositions. The resulting image hovers between figuration and dissolution, challenging the viewer's perception of the body, desire, and the nature of digital representation. This example is a rare limited edition of 50, signed and numbered by the artist in pencil on the reverse and published by the prestigious Edition Schellmann, Munich and New York.
