The first-ever exhibition curated by Peter Lindbergh himself, shortly before his untimely death, Untold Stories at the D\u00fcsseldorf Kunstpalast served as a blank canvas for the photographer\u2019s 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 \u2013 a thin sheet with a soft, open surface \u2013 as a deliberate aesthetic statement.<\/p>\n
Renowned the world over, Lindbergh\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
This XL volume presents more than 150 photographs\u2014many of them unpublished or short-lived, often having been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper\u2019s Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, or The Wall Street Journal. An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and Kunstpalast director Felix Kr\u00e4mer, 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.<\/p>\n
