Michael Dannenmann ; Portrait Sittings

Düsseldorf (16 Feb – 7 Apr 2018) David Lynch, Katharina Grosse, Jörg Immendorff, Dennis Hopper, Ringo Starr – stars from the worlds of film, fashion, music, and art – Michael Dannenmann has portrayed them all.

David Lynch, Katharina Grosse, Jörg Immendorff, Dennis Hopper, Ringo Starr – stars from the worlds of film, fashion, music, and art – Michael Dannenmann has portrayed them all.

The power of his expressive portraits lies in the photographer’s sense of how to capture what is essential about a human being in a second, how to let something personal shine through. The images are a skillful interplay of planning and spontaneity. He only creates a setting and leaves his sitters ample space. This has made him one of the most important contemporary portrait photographers.  Michael Dannenmann’s work has appeared in magazines such as ARTnews, Forbes, Manager Magazin, Vogue, and Die Zeit. Beck & Eggeling International Fine Art is pleased to present a representative selection of his portrait photographs.

Templar Geographies

Portugal is for me a country of cracked and yet brilliant beauty; when you are there, you breathe its decadent and yet amazing grandeur; a lifestyle that is reluctant to emergencies and even to fashionable is perceived; impervious to the most vulgar novelties.
