What is Wolfgang Tillmans famous for?

Wolfgang Tillmans is a German photographer whose images of everyday life—spanning street photography, portraiture, landscape, still life, and abstraction—helped define the visual culture of the 1990s. He is especially known for his seemingly candid depictions of youth, nightclub scenes, and the LGBTQ community. In 2000 he became the first non-British artist to win the Turner Prize.
