Katharina Sieverding: Close-Ups

This full-color catalogue presents a broad overview of Katharina Sieverding's technically processed and manipulated photographic close-ups. They are reproduced here as full-bleeds--faces close to the lens, eyes staring directly into the camera with proposed implication. Sierverding creates what has been described as a "phantasmagoric series of characters . . . relentless, confrontational and frightening but also seductive and vulnerable." Accompanying these 300 images is Joseph Beuys's overview of Sieverding's early work, up to her current works that focus on self-portraits.
