The catalog for Andreas Gursky's exhibit at the University of Louisiana is a treasure chest for fans of contemporary photography. These images from Andreas Gursky at Louisiana, out from Hatje Cantz on April 30, tell a very short version of Gursky's story: his images are epic, his subject matter is the entire world, and his perspective is, in his words, "alien"—a view from above and beyond, encompassing great distance and even greater clarity.
