Wolfgang Tillmans is in London for less than 12 hours, but the German photographer looks relaxed in his trademark workwear. This morning he arrived from Toronto, and he will be in Hamburg with his parents before the day is done.
His first stop is the Institute of Contemporary Arts on The Mall where we meet. Tillmans, 54, the first non-British Turner Prize winner, is chair of its board and, says director Bengi Ünsal, has been a force in organising the 75th Anniversary Auction, which takes place on 15 October.
