Andreas Gursky in the Gagosian Paris show Inherited Images
Published on 08/19/2026 at 10:39 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Andreas Gursky remains one of the clearest reference points in contemporary photography. Gagosian's official news page lists his Paris show Paris, Montparnasse II among the gallery's 2025 presentations, and his work continues to circulate across major auction rooms and institutions.
Recent auction signal
Sotheby's shows Union Rave, executed in 1995 and numbered 3/6, with an estimate of 150,000-250,000 GBP. The lot page confirms it closed on March 5, 2026, and identifies the work as a large c-print in the artist's frame.
That result sits comfortably inside Gursky's established market tier. It also shows how even mid-six-figure estimates can frame important photographs from the 1990s, especially when the edition is small and the print is large.
Gallery and fair presence
Sprüth Magers' 2026 program includes Gursky in 10 Years LA!, opening May 15, 2026 in Los Angeles. The gallery's own schedule places him alongside a long list of artists used to mark the space's decade in the city.
On the exhibition side, his work also appears in institutional and curated photography contexts that stress the breadth of his output. Gursky's photographs continue to move between gallery walls, museum programming and collection-driven display formats.

The work core
Gursky works in photography, but his pictures behave like composed surfaces. His best-known series, including 99 Cent, Rhein II and Bangkok, turn global circulation, retail systems and built landscapes into dense visual structures.
That method explains why his work travels well between museums and the market. Large formats, exacting detail and digitally adjusted composition give his images a strong presence in both exhibition and collection contexts.
