New in seal. Anders Petersen is one of Europe’s leading photographers and has, ever since his Café Lehmitz in the ’70s, shaken up the world of photography with his raw and intimate images. This monograph spans his entire work, from his debut, Gröna Lund, tot the City Diaries. 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, former head of the Hasselblad Center and former director of the Borås Art Museum in Sweden, contributes a concise biography of Petersen’s life and methodology. An essay by Urs Stahel-curator, art critic and director of the Fotomuseum Winthertur in Zürich-further illuminates Petersen’s photography from an international perspective. Anders Petersen was born 1944 in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1967 he began photographing the Café Lehmitz in Hamburg and in 1973 Petersen published his first photo book. He has received numerous grants and rewards since the 70s. In 2003 Petersen was elected Photographer of the Year by the International Photofestival in Arles.
