Angelika Platen has been taking portraits of artists for half a century, including “iconic” photos of Hanne Darboven, Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, James Rosenquist, Günter Uecker and Andy Warhol. While the early photos were all analogue and black and white, it was not until the 2000s that she switched to digital and colour. This comprehensive monograph documents Angelika Platen’s large, multi-layered oeuvre from her beginnings in the 1960s to her work today. Her photographs convey a panorama of the constantly changing art scene. Very personal texts report on her exciting life in the international art world.
To mark the publication of the new comprehensive monograph ‘Angelika Platen. Künstlerportraits’, published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König, we are showing an exhibition of works by the photographer Angelika Platen in our rooms in Niebuhrstraße.
