| In 1988 ‘Images Of Thought’ was published, a book about Peter Ruting with an introduction by Stuart Bennett, auctioneer in photography at Christie’s in London and Sotheby’s in New York. On seeing his work at the Photographers’ Gallery in London, Bennett wrote: ‘I simply knew I had never seen anything like it for sheer mastery of photographic technique’.Peter Ruting beliefs photography consists to a large extent of looking and thinking. He meditates on a meticulous arrangement of a few objects. Above all, he takes his time. He contemplates days, even weeks. Then he shoots. Like Zen. Full and empty. | |
