Tillmans‘ work has been the subject of many exhibitions all over the world, like: Contemporary Art, Kanazawa (Japan), Palais de Tokyo (Paris) Hamburger Bahnhof (Berlin) and Tate Britain (London). Wolfgang Tillman published many photobooks. My favourite books are:

In addition to his photo books, his work was also published in some issues of the I-D. All in all Wolfgang Tillmans is one of the best-known and most popular photographers in the world.
