Juergen Teller: Macho, DESTE Foundation, June 20 – October 29, 2014
The DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art is one of Athens' main cultural epicentres. It was founded in 1983 by Greek entrepreneur and art collector Dakis Joannou. The foundation is based in a former sock factory, which is open to the public only when exhibitions are on display. This summer, it will be worth dropping in to have a look at the Macho exhibition by German photographer Juergen Teller. The photographer is famous for his ability to establish such a close sense of intimacy with his models that the subject matter in many of his photographs looks unstaged, as with such erstwhile icons as photographer Cindy Sherman - whose breasts he is cupping from behind in one famous shot - or a young Kate Moss lying in an unmade bed, her hair dyed dirty pink, looking like she has just woken up.
