He is that good. No really he is. Juergen Teller, his work is superb. It’s filthy, fabulous, grimy and great. It’s everything it should be and more. This month, if you’re in New York, you can check out his new show, 'Ukraine', at Chelsea’s Lehman Maupin Gallery. While this latest body of work was originally commissioned by the PinchukArtCentre for the 52nd International Venice Biennale 2007, Teller's stuck to a fashion vibe with a shoot for W. Also including ‘real people’, he's focused on capitalism within an economic reality, all hinged together with a sharp twist. Think lean, long and lanky, female nudes standing aimlessless in a wood with designer handbags covering their heads. In addition, there’s a selection of prime cut portraits that include usual suspects such as Victoria Beckham and other more quirky characters like Harmony Korine.'Ukraine' by Juergen Teller @ Lehman Maupin, 540 West 26th Street, New York, from 7 February – 15 March 2008.
