Juergen Teller: Louis XV Hardcover – February 15, 2005

Provocative images, yet with the sophistication and esthetics of Juergen Teller. Charlotte Rampling and the imaginary setting of Versailles make this series even more relevant. A must-have book about Teller's work.

The completely shallow nature of this collection of abysmal photos is no surprise coming from self-indulgent schlock-meister Teller. But what is far more shocking than its toilet-level content is acclaimed actress Charlotte Rampling's involvement in the cringe-inducing proceedings. This is a career-suicide project causing one to wonder precisely why Ms Rampling would debase herself in such a very public way. Furthermore, it does nothing but tarnish the achievement of her cultivation of a rare cinematic mystique combining intelligence and sexuality. Hopefully for Ms Rampling, the book will disappear quickly and she will come to her senses. As for Teller? Here's some advice--please put some clothes on and grow up...or better yet, just go away.

Ein grossartiger Kunstband! Absolut Empfehlenswert. Bin sehr froh. dass ich ihn bestellt habe. Mehr gibt es dazu eigentlich nicht zu sagen.
