Willy Brandt

González, Felipe (Essay by); Konrad R. Müller (Photographs by). Willy Brandt. Bergisch Gladbach: Gustav Lübbe, 1993. First edition. Folio. 117, [3]pp. Original photographic dust-jacket over grey cloth with black lettering on spine and blind-stamped lettering on front cover. Konrad R. Müller’s photographs have left their indelible mark on the public image of all German chancellors from Konrad Adenauer to Gerhard Schröder. Müller first won broader recognition with his photographs of Willy Brandt and with his 1978 book of pictures of Brandt. Since then his impressive portraits, which are created away from the hurly-burly world of press photography, have gained a remarkable reputation. Müller never uses artificial lighting and never works in a studio. Natural surroundings are paramount. Many of his photographs of politicians were therefore taken in the countryside, far from the trappings of power. This book is profusely illustrated with numerous b/w photographic reproductions. Minor age-toning and sporadic creasing along edges of dust-jacket. Text in German. Dust-jacket in overall good to good+, binding and interior in very good condition. vg. Hardcover. (33823) $45
