Wolfgang Tillmans — Lighter, Green I
Wolfgang Tillmans

Lighter, Green I

2008

A large-scale chromogenic print by Wolfgang Tillmans, *Lighter, Green I* offers an intimate, abstracted close-up of a disposable lighter bathed in luminous green tones. Tillmans transforms this mundane everyday object into a study of light, color, and surface, blurring the boundary between the representational and the purely sensory. Presented in the artist's own frame, the work reflects Tillmans' signature approach to controlling the full context and display of his photography.
