| Synopsis: |
Astrid Kirchherr - A Retrospective presents a stunning collection of photographs by the legendary Hamburg photographer, including some never before seen early shots of the Beatles. This richly illustrated book also puts Kirchherr's work in a context above and beyond the shadow of Merseybeat: though she has taken few photographs since 1967 her work has been exhibited in Hamburg, Bremen, Liverpool, London, Vienna, New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Los Angeles, Indianapolis and Tokyo, highlighting her significant international presence in photography over the past 50 years. The book draws heavily on unparalleled access to the archives of Astrid Kirchherr and includes photographs of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Kirchherr's former fiance, Stuart Sutcliffe, as well as other key protagonists in the Beatles story, such as Klaus Voormann and Rory Storm. Essays from acclaimed contemporary music writers Jon Savage and Michael Bracewell complete a book that will be compulsory reading - and viewing - for Beatles fans and photography students alike. |
