Post Scriptum is the largest monograph to date on one of Sweden’s most beloved photographers. Founder of the legendary photography school Fotoskolan in Stockholm in 1962, and an inspiration to two generations of photographers, Christer Strömholm (1918–2002) was one of the first Swedish photographers to attain international prominence. Living in both Sweden and France, he first won acclaim with his photo book Poste Restante, which he followed up with Vännerna från Place Blanche (The Friends from Place Blanche)--portrayals of transsexuals in 1960s Paris. His images from his travels in Japan, Spain and the United States are also widely admired. This volume includes these and numerous other bodies of work, including his portraits of artists such as Duchamp, Breton, Ernst, Giacometti, Klein, Rauschenberg, Spoerri and others, compiling nearly 270 of Strömholm’s best photographs.
Featured photograph, "La Methode, Paris 1960," is reproduced from Max Ström's exquisite new volume, Christer Strömholm: Post Scriptum, the largest monograph ever published on the legendary Swedish photographer (1918–2002). Essayist Carole Naggar writes, "Strömholm's attitude is in contrast to the cliché of the photographer as predator. On the contrary, nearly spellbound, he lets himself be captured by reality. This is particularly evident in his work on faces. Strömholm allowed himself to be permeated by the world, mindful of its facillation and its mysteries. In so doing he reached an awakening, a meditative state in which dream sand consciousness merge." continue to blog
