Annotated in his wry, inimitable voice, Juergen Teller presents over three decades of fashion and editorial work in a groundbreaking volume that combines photography, collage, and candid (and often humorous) autobiography. One of the most influential photographers working today, Juergen Teller creates images that are instantly recognizable. Raw, often overexposed and displaying a spontaneity and candor, 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 shoo...
Two legendary photographers meditate on death, memory and ritual The latest collaboration between these two seminal photographers, Leben und Todis the culmination of their joint exhibition at artspace AM, Tokyo, in 2019. This intensely personal project concentrates on Juergen Teller's (born 1964) series Leben und Tod(Life and Death), which reflects upon the death of his uncle and stepfather Artur, juxtaposing photographs of his mother and homeland in Bubenreuth, Bavaria, with symbolic images of fertility and life on holiday in Bhutan with his partner Dovile Drizyte. Inspired by this series, Nobuyoshi Araki (born 1940) asked to photograph Teller's "childhood memory objects," items of particular emotional significance to him and his parents. Teller eagerly collected such personal gems, among them toys, a porcelain figurine and bridges made in the family's violin workshop; the resulting images by Araki are haunting yet playful, creating an intriguing narrative alongside the original story.
Taken over the period of a year in the doorway of the photographer's London studio, these portraits of models, most of whom are unknown, are at once profoundly moving and disquieting.
"In 1999 I did a book called Go-Sees where girls came knocking on my door over a one-year period to show their portfolio and themselves. Recently, walking through Paris, I found myself thinking what work I would exhibit in my upcoming museum show in Naples. Handbags, I'm just gonna do a handbag book and a show. It felt like another Go-Sees book to me. Friends of my girlfriend were asking me what kind of a photographer I am, what I photograph. I replied: 'Actually, come to think of it, mostly handbags.' I always like their astonished and disappointed faces! I realized through the 30 years of my career, I photographed a hell of a lot of handbags within my fashion work. And as the Americans once said to me, 'Where's the money shot?' I looked at them puzzled. 'Show me the money shot!' they repeated. Here they are: the money shots in this collection of images for my new book." Juergen Teller
"To coincide with the exhibition Araki Teller Teller Araki now on at OstLicht in Vienna, NOBUYOSHI ARAKI and JUERGEN TELLER present their first jointly conceived and designed book. The publication assembles more than 300 photographs, including those works shown as part of the exhibition which were previously unpublished. In addition, Araki and Teller have each dedicated a text to the other"--
The idea for this publication came about as an extension of the exhibition Juergen Teller: Woo , held at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 2013. In the run-up to his show, Teller was invited to curate a selection of photographs in the ICA Fox Reading Room, a confined space located away from the main galleries. His initial plan was to cover an area of wall with "tear sheets"--proof pages relating to his commercial photography. As the project developed, Teller would eventually plaster the entire space with images spanning a 20-year period, including family portraits, magazine assignments, recent ad campaigns, landscapes and various personal projects. The combined effect of seeing his images juxtaposed like this, so they formed hitherto unforeseen relationships across time, would so inspire Teller that, during the course of his show, he would passionately launch himself into the production of this book. Setting itself apart from more conventional exhibition catalogues, Woo brilliantly relays the raw impact of the original installation, unlocking a new and exciting dialogue across an impressive body of work.
One of the world's most sought-after photographers, Juergen Teller bridges the worlds of fashion, advertising, art, music and celebrity with an unmistakable mix of irony, honesty and anti-establishment flair. This magazine-style book, the catalogue to a major exhibition in his native Germany, captures Teller's visual universe to date. Employing portraiture, still-life and landscape photography, Teller's highly intuitive work exposes clich�s, champions the everyday, and recasts traditional notions of beauty. Stripped of the glamor of the fashion world, his sitters often find themselves in unexpected, sometimes disturbing contexts where their true selves are revealed.Fascinated by his youth and upbringing, as well as by the role of the photographer today, autobiography is also a strong force in Teller's candid, often humorous, and inevitably endearing photos.

In the summer of 2005 Steidl published a small booklet of Juergen Teller's work, titled 'The Master'. It offered a characteristic examination of his own world and persona as a photographer, a mixture of fashion and commissioned works, alongside self-portraits, family photographs and scenes from his Bavarian home.
Juergen Teller's new photographic series, Zimmermann, documents the supermodel Raquel Zimmermann engaging in family events and interacting with Teller's native environment in Bubenreuth, [in the district of Erlangen-Höchstadt], Southern Germany.
