Previously unpublished work on commemoration, effigies and iconic figures by master photographer Anton Corbijn
Master photographer, director and filmmaker Anton Corbijn presents in his latest publication a series of striking images focusing on icons and how they are commemorated.
Ikonen contains three series: Cemeteries, a. somebody and Lenin, USSR.

Cemeteries is an intriguing collection of black-and-white photos of gravestones. In a.somebody, we can see dozens of self-portraits after past legends from the world of music, photographed in Strijen, the village of Corbijn’s birth – outdoors and in his studio. The book also shows previously unpublished series on Lenin’s visual presence in the former USSR from the early 1980s.

Great book by Anton Corbijn in perfect condition - signed by the artist.

Since the 1970s, photographer and film-maker Anton Corbijn has collaborated with a number of music groups, and some of his photographs have had a major impact on their careers.
He became known also for his photos of other celebrities.
The first photo he printed in a music magazine was of the band Solution performing at the "Grote Markt" in Groningen in 1972.
Hardly any of the greats from the rock and pop scene did not stand in front of his camera, from Tom Waits to the Rolling Stones to U2, from Bon Jovi to Frank Sinatra, from Bryan Adams to Luciano Pavarotti and last but not least Joy Division.

Dominic Eichler is a Berlin-based free­lance art critic, writer and musi­cian. Since 1997 he has regu­larly written arti­cles, edito­rials and reviews for leading inter­na­tional art publi­ca­tions. Between 2007 and 2011, he was "contributing editor" of Frieze maga­zine. He has also written catalogue essays for numerous Euro­pean and US museums and insti­tu­tions, including The Guggen­heim Museum, MoMA, Kunst­mu­seum Basel, Schirn Kunsthalle Frank­furt and many art asso­ci­a­tions. In 2005, he was awarded the German AdKV Prize for Art Crit­i­cism.
