About

A massive manifestation of a consistent artistry. Anders Petersen is one of Europe's most important documentary photographers. His black and white images, often taken from the fringes of society, all show a characteristic warmth and respect. The thirty or so books have become an important part of photographic history. This book is by far the largest monograph on Anders Petersen and his artistry. The work includes just over 250 of his most important images, taken from all his projects to date, from his debut book Gröna Lund via Cafe Lehmitz to The City Diaries. Urs Stahel, curator and art critic, and director of Fotomuseum Winterthur in Zurich, has written an essay in which he interprets Petersen's artistry from an international perspective. Hasse Persson, photographer, writer and former director of the Hasselblad Center, has written a short biography of Petersen's life, working methods and thinking, which provides a concise and personal introduction to his work.
