![]() His images transcend their own context, becoming part of contemporary culture and photographic history. Lindbergh’s comprehension of fashion photography is that it can – and should – exist very well without putting fashion in the center. The exhibition offers an extensive, first-hand look at images that are usually short-lived, being mostly commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone or W Magazine. Lindbergh lives and works in Paris, New York, and Arles, France.Born in 1944 and raised in Duisburg, the German photographer spent two years working on an uncompromising collection of 140 photographs that will shed an unusual light on his colossal oeuvre, spanning from the early 1980’s to the present day. His work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions worldwide, including Images of Women, Bunkamura Museum of Art, Tokyo (1996, traveled to Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin Kunsthaus Wien, Vienna Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome and Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow, among others) Stories Supermodels, Ludwiggalerie Schloss Oberhausen, Germany (2003) Visioni, FORMA Centro Internazionale di Fotografia, Milan, Italy (2006) Beauduc, Les Rencontres d’Arles, France (2008) The Unknown, Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Beijing (2011) Fotomuseum, Antwerp (2011–12) Berlin, Maison de la Photographie, Lille, France (2013) The Unknown and Images of Women, HDLU Museum, Zagreb, Croatia (2014) and Peter Lindbergh/Garry Winogrand: Women on Street, NRW-Forum Düsseldorf (2017). Lindbergh was born in 1944 in Leszno, Poland. His images became homage to the new modern women. In the 1990s Lindbergh garnered international acclaim for launching the careers of the “Supermodels”-Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Stephanie Seymour, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista. He uses body movement-in particular modern dance-to celebrate the human form in a way that carries elements of both antiquity and modernity. In his editorial work for Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, and many other international magazines, Lindbergh replaces staged, calculated glamour with a vérité approach, enhanced by his use of high-contrast black-and-white photography. His Eastern European heritage can be traced in the stark and guileless realism that frames the feminine beauty of his subjects. Peter Lindbergh’s now-iconic photographs of women derive inspiration from early narrative cinema and street photography in their fleeting observations and compositional elegance. ![]()
