Juergen Teller

1996 first edition, hardcover. Juergen Teller’s photographs have continued to shape and reveal the visual language of a generation. Created against the backdrop of fashion they provide a record, less of its changing faces, than of an underlying sensibility. Reflecting the uncertainty of our times, Teller peels away the conventions of fashion imagery to find beneath the posturing and glitz, pathos and sexual energy. Wether photographing supermodels or pop icons, backstage at the fashion shows, on the streets of Romania or the wilds of the Cornish moors, Teller finds humanity in the mortality of galmour and beauty in the brokien image.
