“What is merely beautiful has always bored me. I’m interested in what is powerful and real.” —Peter Lindbergh

With credits such as photographing the first cover of American Vogue under Anna Wintour's directorship and assembling for the first time a group of young women who would end up becoming the supermodels of the '90s, Peter Lindbergh is a master in the art of the photographic world. He has held numerous solo exhibitions at world-renowned institutions, such as the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in Beijing, and the Gagosian in London.

The industry quickly fell in love with his almost anti-fashion photography, capturing the zeitgeist and the spirit of his subjects, rather than following the pursuit of perfection he considers inhuman. Selecting from 37,000 unpublished photographs from his groundbreaking 2017 Pirelli shoot, Lindbergh offers an intimate look at a pool of extraordinary talent: Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Alicia Vikander, Charlotte Rampling, Dame Helen Mirren, Jessica Chastain, Kate Winslet, Léa Seydoux, Lupita Nyong’o, Penélope Cruz, Robin Wright, Rooney Mara, Uma Thurman, and Zhang Ziyi.

His message is simple. These intimate images represent a different form of beauty, away from society's obsession with youth and perfection, focusing on individuality, the courage to be yourself, and personal sensitivity.
