Alex Kitnick, assistant professor of art history and visual culture at Bard, writes about the art of Wolfgang Tillmans for Artforum. The German photographer’s career is the subject of “Wolfgang Tillmans: To look without fear,” a major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art. “I think we can describe much of Tillmans’s work as at once utopian and deeply presentist. Liberal in spirit, it makes room for many things,” Kitnick writes. “The utopian seems like the wrong designation for his work. The utopian is always ahead of us. But there is no future here—everything is right now.”
