黑料不打烊

Coinciding with Frieze London 2025, White Cube Mason鈥檚 Yard presents new work by Andreas Gursky, which delves into his interest in music and ongoing investigation into contemporary culture.

After an extended collaboration with a prominent English musician, during which he was granted exclusive on-stage access at live concerts, Gursky created a new image that serves both as a powerful contemporary document of youth culture and a compelling visual statement on global stardom.

The exhibition also features two new works from the artist鈥檚 ongoing 鈥榗hrono capsules鈥� project, in which he returns to the sites of his earlier photographs to document and reinterpret the passage of time and the transformation of place - made possible by the enhanced capabilities of digital recording technology. In a new image of the Aletsch Glacier in the Swiss Alps, originally captured in 1993, Gursky powerfully reveals the impact of climate change through the glacier鈥檚 visibly reduced expanse.

One other recent work, photographed within a German steel manufacturing plant, should be interpreted within the broader context of systemic transformations and associated crises. Overcapacity, the influx of low-cost imports, and the shift toward environmentally sustainable steel production are posing significant challenges to industrial infrastructures all over the world.
