From an offbeat shoot in the French countryside with Kim and Kanye to celebrity-studded ad campaigns for Marc Jacobs, Juergen Teller’s polarizing photographs have made him one of the most popular photographers of our time, giving him mass appeal, even if against his will. Teller’s distinct works appear deceptively elementary, with raw composition and an oft-overexposed quality. His incomparable style leads to photographs of individuals that are as unexpected as they are visceral, and from today (20.4.17), you can immerse yourself in his aesthetic at a new exhibition, “Enjoy Your Life!” at Martin-Gropius-Bau. On show is a collection of 250 his recent works that truly epitomize his singular point of view. (Text: Devan Grimsrud / Photos: Juergen Teller c/o Bundeskunsthalle)
