| Summary | Anders Petersen is one of Europe's most beloved documentary photographers. His black-and-white portraits, often of persons at the fringes of society-prostitutes, transvestites, drunks and drug addicts-evince a rare compassion and warmth, or of lovers have come to constitute recurrent motifs throughout his oeuvre, expressing his "exaltation of humanity". The 30 or so books Andersen has published over the course of his career have become an important part of the photo-book canon-most famously the 1978 book Café Lehmitz, which depicted Hamburg's seedy Reeperbahn in the late 1960s and 70s. This magnificent volume, by far the largest monograph on Anders Petersen to date, reproduces more than 250 of Petersen's most celebrated photographs. In addition, Hasse Persson contributes a concise biography of Petersen's life and methodology. |
