Artwork location: Switzerland

This evocative photographic work, The Lonely Swimmer (2015), is a striking example of Jürgen Teller's ability to transform an apparently simple scene into a powerful meditation on presence, distance, and identity. The composition shows a vast, calm seascape stretching toward a soft horizon, interrupted only by a single swimmer, barely visible in the immensity of water and sky. The minimalist framing and subdued tonal palette create a sense of quiet tension, emphasizing isolation, vulnerability, and the relationship between the individual and the surrounding world.

The work is signed and numbered on the accompanying certificate and comes with the publisher's certificate of authenticity.

The photograph is a giclée print and was published in 2017 by Texte zur Kunst, Berlin, as part of issue No. 107, “Identitätspolitik heute" (Identity Politics Today).

Authenticity and provenance guaranteed. Delivered with a certificate of authenticity. Worldwide shipping, tax-friendly to the USA and EU countries.

Custom handmade framing available on request.

Juergen Teller, The Lonely Swimmer
Juergen Teller
Germany  • 1964
Master Artists

Presentation

Juergen Teller (born in Erlangen, January 28, 1964) is a German artist and fine-art and fashion photographer.

Juergen Teller studied at the Bayerische Staatslehranstalt für Photographie in Munich, Germany (1984–1986). In order to avoid military national service he learned English and, at the age of 22, moved to London in 1986.

Teller's work, in books, magazines or exhibitions, is marked by his refusal to separate the commercial fashion pictures and his mostly autobiographical un-commissioned images. He employs a raw, overexposed style and he uses a Contax G2 camera with an onboard flash. He prefers to work in color, and regularly includes himself in his photographs. His fashion photographs have been featured in The Face, Vogue (US, France, England, Italy), Another Magazine, Index, W Magazine, Self Service, Details, Purple, i-D and 032c, among others.

Juergen Teller first gained wider recognition in 1996 with his front cover of Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazine featuring a nude Kristen McMenamy with the word 'Versace' drawn in a heart across her chest. In 1997, Marc Jacobs began to collaborate with Teller's then-partner Venetia Scott to style his collections. Since 1998, Teller has shot campaigns for Marc Jacobs. For the brand's 2005 campaign, he photographed himself with Cindy Sherman. Other collaborations for Marc Jacobs campaigns involved, among others, Winona Ryder, Sofia Coppola, Charlotte Rampling, Michael Stipe, Rufus Wainwright, Harmony Korine, and Roni Horn.

Juergen Teller has also had long collaborations with other designers and fashion houses over the years including Helmut Lang, Yves Saint Laurent (since 2005), Vivienne Westwood. He has recently collaborated with Céline. He frequently works with the musician Björk. Teller has also photographed many artists, including William Eggleston and Roni Horn. He photographed american rapper Kanye West for T Magazine's 2015 culture issue, published on April 2015.

Teller has also directed several short films including Can I Own Myself in 1998 in which he also appears.
