Yep! I think we had a discussion about him already, maybe a listserv
search turns out something.
I like his "atlas", a collection of snapshots, black and white
photographies, hotelsrooms, views of the outside, streetscenes etc.

His paintings? I think he plays with effects, experimenting, this
side is ok. When I was young, I liked his Barcelona painting,
black and white on canvas after a photo in a magazin or so.

His subjects? The Baader gang serie is ok. So he isnt so bad:))
