Summary

The first-ever exhibition curated by Peter Lindbergh himself, shortly before his untimely death, Untold Stories at the D�sseldorf Kunstpalast served as a blank canvas for the photographer's unrestrained vision and creativity。 Given total artistic freedom, Lindbergh curated an uncompromising collection that sheds an unexpected light on his colossal oeuvre。 This artist's book, the official companion to the landmark exhibition, offers an extensive, firsthand look at the highly personal collection。 When it came to printing his photos, Lindbergh chose a special uncoated paper - a thin sheet with a soft, open surface - as a deliberate aesthetic statement。

Renowned the world over, Lindbergh's images have left an indelible mark on contemporary culture and photo history。 Here, the photographer experiments with his own oeuvre and narrates new stories while staying true to his lexicon。 In both emblematic and never-before-seen images, he challenges his own icons and presents intimate moments shared with personalities who had been close to him for years, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Robin Wright, Jessica Chastain, Jeanne Moreau, Naomi Campbell, Charlotte Rampling and many more。

This XL volume presents more than 150 photographs--many of them unpublished or short-lived, often having been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, or The Wall Street Journal。 An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and Kunstpalast director Felix Kr�mer, as well as an homage by close friend Wim Wenders, offer fresh insights into the making of the collection。 The result is an intimate personal statement by Lindbergh about his work。

This is a a very nice addition to the exhibition of the the same name that was curated by Peter Lindbergh himself shortly before his death in September 2019 and is currently (2020) on display at the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf and the Museum für Kunst & Gewerbe Hamburg。 The folio-sized volume in half-cloth binding features mostly full-sized pictures of every photograph from the exhibition。 Unlike earlier exhibitions - and catalogues - the focus is not on Lindbergh's most famous works but on his perso This is a a very nice addition to the exhibition of the the same name that was curated by Peter Lindbergh himself shortly before his death in September 2019 and is currently (2020) on display at the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf and the Museum für Kunst & Gewerbe Hamburg。 The folio-sized volume in half-cloth binding features mostly full-sized pictures of every photograph from the exhibition。 Unlike earlier exhibitions - and catalogues - the focus is not on Lindbergh's most famous works but on his personal favourites which he choose, in his own words, depending on his gut-feelings。 The result is a very good overview over the photographer's oeuvre from the 1980s to 2018 that takes the photographs from their original context as fashion-photography and lets them shine as independent works of art。Where the catalogue falls a bit short is the text。 Possibly out of respect for the fact that Lindbergh died before he could finish the project, and his insistence of not commenting on the photographs to let them "speak for themselves", the catalogue includes only Wim Wenders' "In Memory of Peter Lindbergh" (a text originally written for the artist's funeral) and an interview with Lindbergh from June 2019, where he talked about the coming exhibition and his progress of choosing the right pictures。 However, this interview - reproduced here in English, German, and French - is very interesting and offers some insight into his work。 。。。more
