Background information
"One of the stars of fashion photography and one of its most resolute interpreters of beauty and fashion, Juergen TELLER is known for disregarding conventions and pointing his camera behind the scenes of glamour to reveal models in all their personality and vulnerabiliy. Juergen TELLER serves the world of the beautiful, but with a critical, personal eye. Content
In his out-of-print photo volume 'Märchenstüberl' (fairy tale corner) he collaborated with supermodel Stephanie Seymour, photographing her in her three lavish homes, surrounded by her art collection, her home furnishings, her property and her unexpectedly hilarious, bare-all, exaggerated attitude. This examination of the private sphere led Juergen TELLER to produce his series, 'Märchenstüberl', which explores his and his family's roots-literally. Taking his camera down into the basement of his parents' house, he photographed their wet bar, known among family members as the 'Märchenstüberl'. Intensely reminiscent and abstractly personal, 'Märchenstüberl' also contains selections from Juergen TELLER's entire body of work, providing the first complete look at his multifaceted work."
