PETERSEN, Anders

About Swedish photographer Anders PETERSEN (b.1944, in Stockholm)

The Swede Anders PETERSEN is one of the most important European photographers. During his long career - he studied together with Christer STRÖMHOLM from 1966 to 1968 - he always broke with conventions. At the latest since its publication as a paperback edition in a major German publishing house (Fischer 1985), the 1970s photo documentary about the legendary 'Café Lehmitz' on the Reeperbahn of St. Pauli made the Swedish photographer famous. Anders PETERSEN has published about thirty photo volumes to date.
