Bio
Juergen Teller (born 1964) was born in Erlangen in West Germany into a family of violin bridge makers, and began in the trade before an allergy to wood ended it. He studied at the Bayerische Staatslehranstalt für Photographie in Munich from 1984 to 1986 and moved to London in 1986. From the late 1980s his work has crossed between music, fashion and art, with campaigns for Marc Jacobs and work for Helmut Lang, Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood and Céline, in a direct, flash-lit style that avoids the polish of conventional fashion photography. Self-portraiture runs through his work. He received the Citibank Prize for Photography in 2003, and his exhibitions include the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2006, the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 2013 and the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris in 2023.
His prints come to market in editions, often in several sizes, along with books, some issued with a signed print. A buyer will want the edition size and number, the signature and certificate, and the gallery the print came from; magazine pages and campaign material are a different thing from an editioned print. Large colour prints should be checked for fading, creases and damage to the surface, and framed prints for light damage.
