Ellen von Unwerth - Ingrid Sischy (b. 1954)

Ingrid Sischy: Fräulein. Ellen von Unwerth. Paris: Taschen 2009. One of 1700 numbered copies signed by Ellen von Unwerth (#1617). Richly illust. In publisher's boards and wrappers, housed in clamshell box. In original undamaged shipping box.

“Switching effortlessly between color and immaculate black and white, von Unwerth‘s photography revels in sexual intrigue, femininity, romance, fetishism, kitsch humor, decadence and sheer joie de vivre. Whether nude or in lingerie and a dazzling smile, her subjects are never objectified. Some flaunt personal fantasies; others are guarded, suggesting that we have stumbled into a secret world. Fashion and fantasy were never so enchantingly combined. These images were shot over the last 15 years and many are previously unpublished.” Taschen.com

Please note! The pictures of the book are from the official Taschen homepage, since this book is still in the original shipping box.
