Peter Lindbergh Bücher

Peter Lindbergh (1944–2019) war einer der einfluss- und erfolgreichsten Modephotographen seiner Generation. Er war es, der das Phänomen der Supermodels in den 1980er und 90er Jahren nicht nur mitbegründete, sondern auch in Bildern feierte, die nichts mehr mit dem Hochglanz-Glamour früherer Zeiten zu tun hatten. In Schwarzweiß, meist ungeschminkt und von ansteckender Natürlichkeit, verkörperten seine Modelle ein neues Schönheitsideal und gaben dem Frauenbild einer ganzen Epoche Namen und Gesichter: Naomi und Nadja, Amber, Kate, Milla Jovovich, Nastassja Kinski … Aus Anlass der großen Lindbergh-Retrospektive im Kunstpalast Düsseldorf, die er noch selbst mit vorbereitete, legen wir seine 1997 bei uns erschienenen Images of Women I in verkleinertem Format neu auf.

A remarkable selection of recent photographs from the international master of black-and-white fashion photography.

The exhibition 'A Different Vision on Fashion Photography' is an ode to Lindbergh?s multi-faceted oeuvre from 1978 to the present day. Regarded as one of the most influential fashion photographers, the multimedia exhibition is presented in a thematic approach marking his creative development and focusing on his themes, imaginary world and passions through the years, into nine different sections: Supermodels, Couturiers, Zeitgeist, Dance, The Darkroom, The Unknown, Silver Screen, Icons and an exclusive Rotterdam gallery. The 'Rotterdam Gallery', photographed for the October Issue of Dutch Vogue especially made for the exhibition, shows the results of Lindbergh?s shoot of Dutch top model Lara Stone and emerging talent Elisa Hupkes in the Port of Rotterdam. 00Exhibition: Kunsthal Rotterdam, The Netherlands (10.09.2016-12.02.2017).

After his "aperitif" book of models, Ten Women, which was a world success within five months of publication, Peter Lindbergh presented in 1997 his long-awaited larger title Images of Women, comprising the creative essence of his photographic work. Images of Women contains Lindbergh s classic fashion photos, his great portraits of actresses and pop stars such as Madonna, Tina Turner, Demi Moore, Milla Jovovitch, Catherine Deneuve, Charlotte Rampling, Daryl Hannah, and many, many more and, of course, all the photos of his supermodels that he has been saving up for his larger book. Images of Women thus provides a comprehensive overview of twenty years of artistic work of the highest level, showing Peter Lindbergh in his favourite role as a man who loves women.
