Borelli, Albuquerque, NM). - From the publisher: "German photographer and Becher graduate Jörg Sasse initially documented traces of bygone times in domestic environments, then pioneered electronic painting turning photographs into colorful pixel paintings and has now reversed his approach turning classic paintings into photographic images - a prank that might secure him a place in the history of contemporary art. "Picture Works" covers the entire range of Sasse's twenty-year career. Short German texts."
