Lehmann Maupin would like to announce an exhibition of new work by Juergen Teller. This will be Teller's second solo exhibition at Lehmann Maupin.

This exhibition consists of photographs with a strong focus on Teller's personal life. With photographs of his family, portraits of workers from his family's factory, and a series of strangely suggestive caves from his childhood in Germany, there is also a particular emphasis on his German roots. Teller also turns the camera directly on himself in a group of candid, decidedly unglamorous, and often unflattering, self-portraits. As he explains, " . . . I have spent all this time photographing people whose trust you have to win, whose neuroses you have to deal with. I felt in some way that I was having to think too much about all this stuff instead of the actual portraits. I suddenly realised I needed to photograph someone who doesn't care at all how they look. So, that, of course, can only be one person - me. In the end, the only person I can be as brutally honest as possible with is me."
