Andreas Gursky returns to a current gallery context in Los Angeles. Sprüth Magers lists him in 10 Years LA!, the anniversary exhibition marking the gallery's decade in the city.
How the auction market reads Gursky
On Sotheby's result page for Union Rave, the photograph is shown as lot 3/6, executed in 1995, with an estimate of 150,000 to 250,000 GBP. The page records the work as auction closed on March 5, 2026. Sotheby's result page
The same page identifies the work as c-print in the artist's frame, measuring 169.1 by 280.6 cm. That scale remains central to Gursky's market profile.
Why the LA group show matters
Sprüth Magers says 10 Years LA! opens on May 15, 2026 and runs through August 8, 2026 in Los Angeles. The exhibition brings together artists from the gallery's Los Angeles orbit and a wider transatlantic program. Sprüth Magers exhibition page
Gursky sits inside that frame as a photographer whose work travels easily between institutional walls, mega-gallery programming and the auction room. His images of systems, crowds and infrastructure still read as large, legible compositions rather than documentary fragments.
