Juergen Teller Bücher

In the summer of 2005, a small booklet of Juergen Teller’s work, titled ‘The Master’, was published by Steidl, showcasing his world as a photographer through a blend of fashion, commissioned pieces, self-portraits, family photos, and scenes from his Bavarian home. The book began with portraits of his heroes, photographers William Eggleston and Nobuyoshi Araki. Quickly going out of print, it will now see a second edition alongside ‘The Master II’, initiating a series of booklets that will eventually culminate in a slip-cased collection of ten or more volumes. ‘The Master II’ features his recent work ‘Ukraine’, where he uses Kiev as a backdrop for a fashion shoot, intertwining fashion, still-lifes of the city, and portraits of everyday people to depict his vision of a country infused with youthful energy and a fascination with capitalism. Born in Erlangen, Germany in 1964, Teller studied at the Bayerische Staatslehranstalt für Photographie in Munich. His work has appeared in notable publications like W Magazine, iD, and Purple, and has been featured in solo exhibitions at prominent venues such as the Photographer’s Gallery in London and the Fondation Cartier in Paris. He has also produced several monographs with Steidl, including works on Marc Jacobs and Zimmerman.

Brecht und Berlin: Anlaß für einen Stadtführer der speziellen Art. Der Berliner Schrifsteller Michael Rutschky und der Photograph Juergen Teller besuchen die Wirkungsstätten in Berlin, an denen Bertolt Brecht gelebt, gewohnt, gearbeitet und geliebt hat. Rutschkys spitze Feder und Tellers scharfes Auge führen außerdem zu all jenen Orten, die den Dichter inspiriert haben. Das Buch funktioniert auf drei Ebenen: durch den ausführlichen Anhang als Stadtführer, durch die Photos von Teller als Kunstbuch und durch den Text von Rutschky als Leckerbissen für Literaturfans. Damit animiert der Führer die Leser, sich auf den Weg zu machen und die Stationen des Brechtschen Wirkens und Lebens zu erwandern, um dabei das heutige Berlin kennenzulernen und das Gestrige nachvollziehen zu können.

Juergen Teller's work showcases over thirty years of fashion and editorial photography, distinguished by his unique blend of candidness and humor. This groundbreaking volume features a mix of photography and collage, offering an insightful and personal look into his artistic journey. Through his wry narrative, Teller invites readers to explore the intersection of his life experiences and creative expression in the world of fashion.

The visual memoir captures a spontaneous road trip taken by Harmony Korine, Juergen Teller, and William Eggleston, along with his son, from Memphis to Mississippi. Through a blend of candid portraits and evocative images of the American landscape, the book highlights their intimate connection and shared experiences. It features striking photographs of gas stations, abandoned towns, and everyday life, while also revisiting Eggleston's iconic motifs. Eggleston himself is prominently featured, showcasing his distinctive style and presence throughout the journey.

Exploring profound themes of life and death, this project showcases a poignant series that reflects on the loss of the photographer's uncle and step-father. It intertwines intimate images of his mother and Bavarian homeland with symbolic representations of fertility and vitality captured during a trip to Bhutan with his partner. The book emerges from a collaborative exhibition, offering a deeply personal narrative that connects personal grief with broader themes of existence and renewal.

Funny, sexy, exotic and a bit scandalous, this book brings together all of London-based photographer Juergen Teller's images for Vivienne Westwood's Spring/Summer 2008 campaign. In typical fashion, Teller photographed the collection by creating a highly theatrical mis-en-scène which involved the collaboration of not only the models but the legendary designer herself. Borrowing the theme, The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search For God from George Bernard Shaw's controversial 1932 novel of the same name--which is engagingly excerpted here--this collection has a strangely riveting quality that is enhanced in Teller's suggestive photographs by such props as plantains, tribal masks, tropical birds, machine guns, spears and various exotic animal hides.

The studio of photographer Juergen Teller, best known for his fashion pictures, is located in a tiny street in West London. And it is the front door of his studio that somehow seems to play the leading role in this book. During one year, from May 1998 to May 1999, Teller was visited by hundreds of girls, sent to him by agencies for a casting shoot. At the beginning of this book there was a simple idea that struck why not photograph all his young female visitors and turn the result into a convincing conceptual piece of art photography? The result is striking, sometimes funny, and makes us question the fashion industry and its world of models. We encounter girls, mostly around the age of 16 or 17, presenting themselves to the photographer in the hope of a great career. Sometimes they come alone, sometimes in groups, sometimes accompanied by their parents. Captured in different lights of the changing seasons, but always at the entrance of Teller's studio, the portraits seem to melt into one single portrait - that of the one and only model, whatever she might look like.

In his new book, Juergen Teller portrays model Raquel Zimmermann in his childhood home, creating a surreal and morbid narrative reminiscent of a German fairy tale. The images depict themes of sacrifice and otherworldly connections, reflecting on his upbringing in Germany. Teller, known for his radical fashion photography, has received numerous accolades.

Juergen Teller's revised edition showcases a curated selection of images from his original work, blending iconic advertising campaigns for luxury brands with fashion editorial photography. Featuring celebrities and models, Teller's subversive style redefines handbags as everyday items rather than mere luxury commodities. The book highlights the shift towards celebrity endorsement and includes playful contexts, like handbags on vegetables or taxidermy. Compact and tactile, this edition makes the fashion world more accessible to all, echoing the charm of the handbag itself.
