“When I saw my photos on the wall in the exhibition model for the first time, it gave me a fright, but also in a good way. It was overwhelming to be thus confronted with who I am.” — Peter Lindbergh, 2019. The first-ever exhibition curated by Peter Lindbergh himself, shortly before his untimely death, ‘Untold Stories’ at the Düsseldorf served as a blank canvas for the photographer’s unrestrained vision and creativity. Given total artistic freedom, Lindbergh curated an uncompromising collection that sheds an unexpected light on his colossal oeuvre. Our official companion to the landmark exhibition offers an extensive, firsthand look at the highly personal collection. Renowned the world over, Lindbergh’s 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 , , , , , , and many more. The XL volume presents more than 150 photographs—many of them unpublished or short-lived, often having been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone, W Magazine, or The Wall Street Journal. An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and director , as well as an homage by close friend , offer fresh insights into the making of the collection. The result is an intimate personal statement by Lindbergh about his work. Secure your copy using the link in our bio.
