the  first ever exhibition curated by  Peter Lindbergha  himself, shortly before his untimely death,  Untold Stories  at the Düsseldorf Kunstpalast served as a blank canvas for the photographer's unrestrained vision and creativity.  Given total artistic freedom, Lindbergh curated an uncomprising collection that  sheds an unexpected light on his colossal oeuvre. this book,  the official companion to the landmark exhibition, offers  an extensive, first-hand look  at the highly personal collection.

 Renowned the world over, Lindbergh's images have left  an indelible mark on contemporary culture and photo history. Here, the photographer experiments with his own oeuvre and  narrates new stories while staying true to his lexicon. in both  emblematic and  never-before-seen images, he challenges his own icons and presents  intimate moments  shared with personalities who had been close to him for years, including Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Robin Wright, Jessica Chastain, Jeanne Moreau,  Naomi Campbell, Charlotte Rampling and many more.

 This XL volume presents more than  150 photographs—many of them  unpublished or short-lived, often having been commissioned by monthly fashion magazines such as  vogue,  Harper's Bazaar,  Interview,  rolling stone,  W Magazine, or  The Wall Street Journal. An extensive conversation between Lindbergh and Kunstpalast director  Felix Krämer, as well as an homage by close friend  Wim Wenders, offer fresh insights into the making of the collection. The result is  an intimate personal statement by Lindbergh about his work.
