Peter Lindbergh. Untold Stories

<p>The invitation to create his own show&#160;<em>Untold Stories </em>at Kunstpalast Düsseldorf Kunstpalast served Lindbergh as a blank canvas for the his unrestrained vision and creativity. <strong>Given artistic freedom</strong>, he curated an uncompromising collection that <strong>sheds an unexpected light on his colossal oeuvre</strong>. This <strong>artist's book&#160;</strong>offers <strong>an extensive, firsthand look</strong> at the highly personal collection. When it came to printing his photos, Lindbergh chose a <strong>special uncoated paper</strong> – a thin sheet with a soft, open surface – as a deliberate aesthetic statement.<br /><br /> Renowned the world over, Lindbergh’s images have left <strong>an indelible mark on contemporary culture and photo history</strong>. Here, the photographer experiments with his own oeuvre and <strong>narrates new stories</strong> while staying true to his lexicon. In both <strong>emblematic and</strong> <strong>never-before-seen images</strong>, he challenges his own icons and presents <strong>intimate moments</strong> 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.<br /><br /> This XL volume presents more than <strong>150 photographs</strong>—many of them <strong>unpublished or short-lived</strong>, often having been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as <em>Vogue</em>, <em>Harper’s Bazaar</em>, <em>Interview</em>, <em>Rolling Stone</em>, <em>W Magazine</em>, or <em>The Wall Street Journal</em>. An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and Kunstpalast director <strong>Felix Krämer</strong>, as well as an homage by close friend <strong>Wim Wenders</strong>, offer fresh insights into the making of the collection. The result is <strong>an intimate personal statement by Lindbergh about his work.</strong></p>
