Discussing the poster, Tillmans said he initially found the assignment of designing the poster oddly specific.
Locarno poster must feature a leopard and the color yellow, Tillmans said he was told.
He won the Turner Prize in 2000 and was elected to the Royal Academy in 2013.
Wolfgang Tillmans artwork offers us the image of a world in which we can all live and work together.
