Fashion below, nudes above - photos by Günter Rössler in Apolda

Around 130 black and white photographs will be shown from 18 January to 3 May under the title "Günter Rössler - Fashion and Nude Photography". The photographs date back six decades and, according to the Kunsthaus, are intended to provide an overview of the work of one of the most important German photographers of the second half of the 20th century.

"Maximum authenticity of the girls"

Rössler's reportage and fashion photography can be seen on the lower floor, while the nudes are on the second floor. Rössler once told dpa that his aim was to achieve the "highest possible authenticity of the girls". In an audio guide for the exhibition, the models themselves will have their say and talk about the photographs and their work with Rössler. A 90-minute documentary film will also be shown as part of the exhibition.
