THOMAS STRUTH

Dear Sophie -

Well, you don't want to mix up your STRUTH with RUFF, but these Thomases were both students studying under the Bechers in Germany along with Gursky and Hofer, .

The museum series is his STRUTH'S iconic work. (He photographed viewers at major museum collections around the world, including the LOUVRE in Paris, and the PRADO in Madrid). 

With love,

Mom

... I just came across this Struth image of the downtown I grew up with. You can imagine the continual pang of absence.
