Andreas Schmidt is a Berlin based artist and gallerist. Schmidt received a first class Bachelor of Arts (Photography) degree from Nottingham Trent University, School of Art and Design in 1992, after having moved to England from Germany in 1989. Schmidt's early work consisted mainly of straight analogue photography with a later shift in his art practice from 2008 onward towards appropriation, performance, print-on-demand artist's books and video. In 2005 German fine art and photography book publisher Hatje Cantz, published his first hard-back monograph Las Vegas to international critical acclaim. In the accompanying essay, Christoph Ribbat states about Schmidt's photography: "His work hints at the soberness of the New Topographics, the humor of New Color, the clever objectivity of newer German photo art." Described by J. G. Ballard as "the poet of the hotel corridor", Schmidt's second book, The City was published by Hatje Cantz in 2009 and presents dystopian interior and exterior photographs of London's financial district.
