I first saw Gursky's work in Photography class today. This first reminds me of a Jackson Polluck painting.He altered the colors of the traders suits in the the image with photoshop. Gursky, was one of the first artists that used the computer to alter his photographs. The second one is interesting because i learned that to able to get this shot, they had to take out some of the windows. It ended up selling for millions of dollars. Ironic how a picture of a 99cents store sold for millions of bucks. It also shows that even something as commercial as a dollar store can be seen as art. You can google Gursky's work to find out more about him.
