“Wolfgang Tillmans: To look without fear,” at the Museum of Modern Art, is a show that certainly believes that more is more. The photographer’s first art museum survey in New York City, it collects 350 of Mr. Tillmans’s photographs, videos, and multimedia installations, and takes up the entirety of the museum’s sixth floor, images sicced high on bare walls. Running through the new year, it looks and feels like a blockbuster.  

MoMA explains that “the decisive logic” of Mr. Tillmans’s work is “visual democracy.” His most famous quotation is “if one thing matters, everything matters,” and the subjects of his photography are suitably catholic, ranging from still life like fruit on a window sill to an iPhone leaning against a glass of water to bodies naked, singly and alone. All of these are delivered with an off-kilter perspective that feels either too close or too far, and entirely raw.
