Mit einem Beitrag von Wim van Sinderen, Senior Curator des Museums und Kurzbiografien der abgebildeten Fotografen und Künstler in ENGLISCH "That for over fifteen years Koos Breukel had been making portraits of selected fellow photographers with whom he felt a certain affinity only came to light when in January 2005 he asked our assistance in getting several notoriously difficult characters in front of his camera. Perhaps in the neutral setting of the Museum he might succeed in getting the unpredictable, because often suspicious, Gerard Fieret to sit on a chair, and the same goes for the rootless and therefore often untraceable Paul Blanca, and the publicity-shy Vojta Dukát ." - Umschlag etw. berieben, Ecken u.

About this title

Synopsis

This slightly oversized volume is composed of 55 powerful black-and-white portraits by the Dutch photographer Koos Breukel, all of internationally renowned photographers like Richard Avedon, Robert Frank and Rineke Dijkstra--alongside a major work, in color or black-and-white, by each of the artists who were photographed. Thus Dennis Hopper's portrait is followed by a double-page spread of a biker couple, and Hellen van Meene's is preceded by a beautiful, adolescent redhead wearing a too-large camisole--looking over her shoulder and bathed in Vermeer-ish light. Made over the course of 15 years, this series collects all of Breukel's greatest heroes, who willingly sat for his 8 x 10 camera. Other featured artists include Ron Galella, Teun Hocks, Inez van Lamsweerde, Daido Moriyama, Arno Nollen, the Starn twins and a veritable who's who of Dutch twentieth-century photography.
