One of the most influential photographers working today, Juergen
Teller creates images that are instantly recognisable. Raw, often
overexposed and displaying a spontaneity and candour, Teller s
visual language reflects a measured yet uncompromising sense of
rebellion. This book includes landmark editorials with nearly every
important fashion label of the era and celebrities from Kate Moss
to Charlotte Rampling and Kurt Cobain to Yves Saint Laurent.
Outtakes of iconic shoots (including infamous ones with Courtney
Love, Cindy Sherman, Marc Jacobs, Victoria Beckham, and Bjork) that
have never been published will be included in this volume. Teller
first broke into fashion in 1996 with a magazine cover of a naked
Kristen McMenamy with the word Versace scrawled across her chest.
Since then, his fashion photography has been featured in all the
international Vogues, AnOther Magazine, Index, Self-Service, W,
Details, Purple, i-D, and 032c, among others. A highly sought-after
cult hero and the author of many iconic campaigns, Teller has
collaborated with the likes of Helmut Lang, Raf Simons, Hedi
Slimane, Nicolas Ghesquiere, Phoebe Philo, Vivienne Westwood,
Miuccia Prada, and Isabel Marant, and shot every season of Marc
Jacobs s ready-to-wear collections from 1998 to 2014.
For a German soccer enthusiast like Juergen Teller (born 1964),
Summer 2014 couldn't have been any better. The German national team
won the World Cup in Brazil, and Teller was passionately present
every step of the way. This new volume, Siegerflieger (literally
the victors' plane, the affectionate name given to the German
team's customized jumbo) unfolds in typical diary-like Teller
fashion. Yet Teller's obsession with soccer remains center stage,
whether he's watching the final live on TV or welcoming home the
triumphant team at the Brandenburg Gate.
Unlike many photographers who maintain a strict divide between
their commercial and private work, Teller has always combined the
two. Indeed this merging is one reason for Teller's progressive
edge. The Keys to the House contains recent photographs of Teller's
life at and around his house in Suffolk: landscapes, portraits of
family and friends. But of course Teller's vision would not be
complete without the occasional fashion figure who was entered his
personal world - be it Lily Cole floating like Ophelia, or Vivienne
Westwood leaning on a red Mercedes Benz. Born in 1964 in Erlangen,
Germany, Juergen Teller has lived in London since 1986. His
influential fashion photography has been published extensively, and
solo exhibitions of his work have been held at the Fondation
Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris and the Kunsthalle Wien
among other institutions. Teller's books with Steidl include Louis
XV (2005), Marc Jacobs Advertising 1998-2009 (2010) and Zimmermann
(2010).
Juergen Teller spent a year carrying out a study of the
Reichsparteitagsgelande, the site of the notorious Nurnberg
rallies, and a place he used to visit in his youth. The results are
a series of meditative images of stone and flora, photographed over
the four seasons of a year, in seed, bloom, demise, and, finally,
dormant in the snow. It amounts to a study of mortality, the
process of birth, growth and death. The book combines these works
with self-portraits and family photographs through the same period,
adding the perspective of the personal and quotidian life cycle to
a site that has world-historical importance.
