Wer Liebe wagt lebt morgen by Wolfgang Tillmans

Wer Liebe wagt lebt morgen

by Wolfgang Tillmans
Hatje Cantz · 1996 · Softcover

Wer Liebe wagt lebt morgen is a Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition publication, gathering the photographer's images of everyday life, intimacy, and observation as printed and installed for the show.

Published in Ostfildern-Ruit, the book follows Tillmans's characteristic method of hanging photographs of widely differing subject and scale together, without a fixed hierarchy between a magazine tear sheet, a still life, and a portrait.

Tillmans, the first photographer and first non-British artist to win the Turner Prize, has spent three decades treating photography as a flexible, non-hierarchical medium, moving between club culture, still life, astronomical imagery, and abstraction; this volume is one of many exhibition-tied publications documenting that ongoing body of work.

Notes

Catalogued title improperly included the publisher's location, "Ostfildern-Ruit," as part of the title; corrected here to the book's actual title. Published 1996; the year and the full form of the title are confirmed against the artist’s own bibliography, which lists it as “Wolfgang Tillmans: Wer Liebe wagt, lebt morgen / For when I’m weak I’m strong. Texts by Annelie Lütgens, Helen Molesworth, and Collier Schorr. Hatje Cantz, Ostfildern”. Summer archiving 2026; catalogued 2026-08-28.
