Published spring 2008, Albrecht Fuchs' selection of photographs entitled Portraits has been nominated for the Deutsche B rse Photography Prize 2008. The press had already reacted euphorically to the publication of this book, crowning the photographer from Cologne the "artists' darling." This nickname is illustrated amply by the catalytic initial series of photographs that Albrecht Fuchs took of Martin Kippenberger in 1995. Fuchs accompanied him to Dawson City, to his studio or to the Black Forest and in so doing, served his "apprenticeship as a photographer," as he puts it. The huge phenomenon Kippenberger understood his photogenic power and used it calculatedly in his dealings with photographers to tease out the most faithful representation of his idea. The degree to which Albrecht Fuchs has allowed himself to be inspired by this process has aided the photographer to find his own independent and sensitive style of portraiture. The book is published in a special format, carefully printed and finished, in a small, limited, and signed edition.
