Juergen Teller
Vivienne Westwood
This book brings together images from the Spring Summer 2008 Vivienne Westwood campaign. In his usual
style, Juergen Teller photographed the collection by creating a highly theatrical mis-en-scène which involved the
collaboration of not only the models but also the designer herself.
Photographer Juergen Teller was born in Erlangen, Germany in 1964. He studied at the Bayerische Staatslehranstalt
für Photographie in Munich, Germany. He has lived and worked in London since 1986. Teller’s work in books,
magazines and exhibitions is marked by his refusal to separate the commercial fashion pictures and his most
auto-biographical un-commissioned work. His work has been published in influential international publications such as
W Magazine, I-D and Purple and has been the subject of solo exhibitions including the Photographers Gallery in
London, the Kunsthalle Wien and the Fondation Cartier pour l’art Contemporain in Paris. In 2003 Teller was
awarded the Citibank Prize and last year he was asked to represent the Ukraine as one of five artists in the 52nd Venice
Biennale. He has also participated in group shows at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and Tate Modern in
London. Teller has produced numerous monographs, his most recent being Nürnberg.
