Günter Beer

Günter Beer lives and works in Barcelona, Spain. He is a photographer, journalist and chronicler. Germany’s most well- known food magazine, DER FEINSCHMECKER (“The Gourmet“) writes that „his life reads like an adventure novel.“

In 1982, he accompanied Joseph Beuys on a project called 7000 Eichen (“7000 Oaks“). He worked as a journalist in Rio de Janeiro for Jornal do Brasil, and reported on the civil war in Nicaragua crossing back and forth between the Sandinistas and the Contras.

Günter Beer sat in the mud with Venezuelan gold panners, he published the latest news from US military laboratories, took fashion photographs in Mexico, Majorca and atop the Matterhorn.

For Könemann Verlag in 1994 he photographed 255 culinary specialities from all over Europe in 180 days. His work has since focused on more than 20 international cookbooks.
