Author Description

By far the largest monograph on Anders Petersen to date, this magnificent volume contains over 250 of Petersen's most noted photographs taken from his entire body of work -- from the debut book Gröna Lund to The City Diaries. Additionally, the photographer and former director of the Borås Art Museum in Sweden, Hasse Persson, has contributed a short biography on Petersen's life, his method of work and his way of thinking, which provides a schematic and personal entry into Petersen's creative artistry. An essay by Urs Stahel -- curator, art critic and director of the Museum for Photography Winterthur in Zürich --further illuminates Petersen's photography from an international perspective.
