Juergen Teller: The Master V - (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

The newest installment of Teller's light-hearted homages to his heroes, including Garry Kasparov and Demna Gvasalia

This is the newest book in Juergen Teller's (born 1964) original and beloved Masters series. Teller made his first Master in 2005 as an homage to anything and everything he believes is a master--rock icon Iggy Pop, actor Gillian Anderson, football manager Carlo Ancelotti or even a simple vase of flowers--as well as a tongue-in-cheek recognition of himself as the master of his photographic identity. The concept was simple: to create an ongoing collection of humble books, each at the same small size, with no text and minimal design.
Like past volumes in the series, The Master V presents an unpredictable mix of Teller's eclectic photography: unorthodox fashion work, still lifes, landscapes, portraits or images that move between these genres. Featured subjects include chess grand master Garry Kasparov, editor-in-chief of British Vogue Edward Enninful and fashion designer Demna Gvasalia.

Review Quotes

The Master V stays faithful to Teller's strange and striking approach to portraiture and landscape alike. Though each displayed in his distinctive style, each of his subjects co-authors their own image, a true self-rendering in the most personal and peculiar versions of themselves.--Megan Hullander "Document Journal"
