ANDERS PETERSEN – COLOR LEHMITZ
2021-11-08Spotlighting the artist’s acclaimed series Café Lehmitz – a raw, unfettered look at late 1960s Hamburg, Germany – the exhibition includes never-before-seen prints, contact sheets, and hand-written notes by the artist.
Café Lehmitz was a bar in Hamburg, on a street near the port, with over 25 brothels open around the clock. The café was a place of survival, where 23 years old Anders was accepted and invited to capture candid moments of the café’s regulars. The exhibition gives an exclusive look into his artistic process, as he sorted through, edited, and selected images during the past 50 years.
