It's like a game at this point, to see if they can write about visual art and include the fewest possible photos. Here we have two gallery walls from a distance, and one self portrait.

Art photographers are very protective of their hi-res imagery and often even low res imagery, that’s why you often see the minimal imagery reproduced in the media. Some niche NFT’s aside, art photography is typically still more physical art. I met Wolfgang a few times about 15years ago he seemed nice. I was also a photographer at the time and we actually contributed to the same book. I’m quite a technical photographer so never really understood the appeal of his imagery, it felt a little like the Tracey Emin of photography. When it comes to capturing real life I much prefer the technical approach of Martin Parr at capturing vignettes of English culture, probably more mainstream too, but I’m no art critic so what do I know.

I came here to say the same thing. What a silly tease. I won’t be making it to NYC anytime soon so no like they’re losing custom…

Yep, I find articles about something visual with no to few pictures quite annoying.

Another thing that bugs me is reporting that doesn't provide links to the thing they're reporting on. Is that because sites don't want you to leave their site? If so, doesn't work on me - I end up having to search for source material, and I leave the site anyway, but feeling a bit annoyed by it.
