Lambda print in colours, on glossy paper, with full margins - Signed in black ink and numbered (printed) on a label affixed to the reverse - Published by EN/OF Editions, Kleve, Germany, // Bullion by Thomas Demand is a limited edition Lambda print that portrays meticulously crafted models of gold bullion bars, rendered in striking detail. Demand, known for his process of constructing lifelike models and then photographing them, plays with themes of value, wealth, and illusion in this piece. The glossy finish and warm golden hues evoke opulence, while the careful arrangement and uniformity of the bars suggest an almost surreal sense of abundance. By using an artificial medium to replicate a symbol of wealth, Demand subtly critiques our perceptions of value and authenticity in a world increasingly dominated by simulation.

What is the Dusseldorf school of photography?
The Düsseldorf School of Photography refers to a group of photographers who studied under Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf during the 1970s. This group was known for its devotion to the black-and-white industrial images characteristic of the German tradition known as New Objectivity. The photographers focused on precise, methodical documentation of industrial structures, often using a detached and objective approach.
