"One must first imagine a car," stated Enzo Ferrari. Nobody creates pictures worthy of the Commendatore's imagination quite like Gunther Raupp. Not just a random flood of images, this internationally renowned automotive photographer's artworks capture the seductive essence of these status symbols from Maranello-- maintaining the legendary Ferrari luster. Since 1984, Raupp has been the exclusive photographer for its official calendars-- now collectible cult objects. Recently, a major exhibition in the World Cultural Heritage Site of the Volklingen Ironworks was dedicated to his photographs, their almost surreal effects and striking use of backlighting. In 2008 teNeues published Raupp's successful Ferrari, 25 Years of Calendar Images. With The Ferrari Book Gunther Raupp adds an exciting, exclusive collector's item to our line of high quality car books. English/German/Italian/French/Chinese edition.

This book attempts the rather difficult task of relaying the brand's history through pictures. And, at least in my opinion, succeeds. The magical lens of Gunter Raupp has been doing this since 1985.Every single one of Raupp's pictures is like a full lecture. The effects, the colors, the backdrop, even the angles, are chosen to reflect the colossal significance of that particular model the image is showing off. The sheer beauty of some of these shots is indescribable. The best thing about the consistency of the album is that you see and appreciate the evolution of Ferrari design over the years.

Preface by Piero Ferrari. Texts by Werner Schruf and Rolf Sachsse. Translations by Schmellenkamp Communications GmbH. 'The Ferrari Book' zeigt vom legendären 166 SC über den Testa Rossa bis zum aktuellen Supercar "LaFerrari" die Traumwagen, die den Ruhm der Marke aus Maranello begründen. Ein Auto muss man zuerst träumen, war das Credo von Enzo Ferrari. Und kein anderer schafft Bilder für diese Träume des Commendatore wie Günther Raupp. Jenseits einer beliebigen Bilderflut setzt der international renommierte Künstler unter den Automobilfotografen die Sehnsuchtsobjekte aus Maranello höchst verführerisch in Szene und befeuert damit nachhaltig den Mythos Ferrari. Exklusiv fotografiert er seit 1984 für die italienische Sportwagenikone die offiziellen Kalender, die unter Sammlern längst zu gesuchten Kultobjekten avanciert sind. Seinen Fotografien mit fast surrealen Lichtinszenierungen und markantem Einsatz des Gegenlichts wurde jüngst eine große Ausstellung im Weltkulturerbe Völklinger Hütte gewidmet. Mit 'The Ferrari Book' fügt Günther Raupp hochwertiger Autobücher ein spannungsreiches und exklusives Sammlerobjekt hinzu. 304 Seiten, überwiegend meist farbige Abb., Großformat 29 x 37 cm, gebunden (teNeues 2013).
