Tillmans' first-hand attraction to objects was manifest from the beginning, but his still lifes rarely appeared in his early publications. Refusing to be narrowly cast as a pop culture "art star," in the mid-nineties Tillmans retrieved and printed his early still life's in the mid-1990s and began to move deeper into this genre, seeking out the paintings of Zurbarán and Caravaggio. His continuing challenges to distinctions between low and high culture, and recently, between figuration and abstraction and the lush beauty of his pictorial results earned him Britain's prestigious Turner Prize in 2000-the first time the award had been given to a photographer.

He can turn the non-luscious, dirty, and stuffy objects into something appealing. The works of Still Life don't seem the way you see them at first; they all have a deeper meaning.
