Thomas Struth counts among the most important artists of his generation. His architectural photographs, in both black-and-white and color, of cities in Europe, the United States, and Asia as well as his well-known family portraits, in which he challenges the possibility of photography as the origin of psychological research, are cornerstones in the artist's oeuvre. Struth went on to produce strongly analytical museum photographs that probe the relationship between visitor, museum, and artwork, and the "Paradise", his forest and jungle photographs. The works of Thomas Struth have been featured in numerous international solo exhibitions. Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin and the Folkwang Museum in Essen both arranged his solo exhibitions with the new group of works, which subsequently traveled to several museums in the United States.
