ANDREAS GURSKY AND THE COCOON CLUB, FRANKFURT

From today through December 24, the Matthew Marks Gallery in New York will be exhibiting the new work of German photographer, Andreas Gursky. Gursky is famous for having sold the most expensive photograph in history, 99 Cent II, Diptych, which sold for $3.3 million at Sothebys. The new exhibit explores the space of the world famous nightclub, The Cocoon Club , located in Frankfurt. The Cocoon Club is known for its resident DJ and club designer DJ, Sven Väth. According to the gallery website, “The club resembles a futuristic hive and two of the photographs on view depict nearly 1,000 people dancing. Two other photographs show the club emptied of its clientele, highlighting the unusual architecture. In one, the artist appears for the first time in a self-portrait with his son.”
