Andreas Gursky in Berlin
Nothing like seeing a Gursky photograph up close. The sweeping perspectives and painstakingly manipulated details are a revelation. Sprüth Magers shows Gursky’s first work in 3 years in an online exhibition and in gallery (until Nov 14th).
Float Frame & Canvas Sets
As a fan of the floating frame I’ve never had much luck finding ready made versions. Step in Jackson’s Art. Can vouch for their wooden panels and these float frame & canvas sets tick all the boxes in a good range of sizes.
