Anders Petersen - Tapa dura

"informative... illuminating.... Opening the current monograph, you don't simply gaze at a Petersen image; you enter it."--Sandra Bertrand "GALO "

"the black and white photographs contained in this delicious monograph are coloured with emotion, experience and a distinct sensitivity towards his subjects.... raw and hypnotic"--Tim Clark "A-N "

"a rich display spanning the entirety of Petersen's forty-year oeuvre, edited and sequenced to make wonderful visual associations in layouts that combine the very recent with the very old and everything in between. The work defines Petersen's consistent approach, singular in style and yet rewarding in content. Quirky humour, melancholy and longing ooze from the page.... Petersen has proved, without doubt, that he is one of the most important and influential contemporary photographers, and that he is who he is."--Michael Grieve "1000 Words "

"The definitive monograph by Anders Petersen"--Sian Dolding "Dazed Digital "

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.
