Overcast winter skies are no match for Teller's endlessly imaginative portraits of his wife and muse As soon as Juergen Teller (born 1964) had the idea, he knew it was a good one: Dovile in Deauville . At the beginning of January 2024, following his largest exhibition to date, i need to live at the Grand Palais Éphémère in Paris, Teller and his wife and creative partner, Dovile Drizyte (born 1982), headed to Deauville in Normandy: a coveted destination for the rich and famous since the 19th century, home to grand hotels, horse racing, a palace of a casino and the American Film Festival. Yet when the couple arrived in the middle of a gray winter, a different and altogether less glamorous picture of Deauville presented itself. This book is a visual memoir of their time together, an unconventional portrait of both Dovile and Deauville showing Teller's ability to find beauty in the expected and humor and mystery in the mundane. Juergen Teller was born in Erlangen, Germany, in 1964. His work has been published in influential magazines such as Vogue , i-D and Arena Homme+ , and has been the subject of solo exhibitions, including those at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris and Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin. Teller won the prestigious Citibank Photography Prize in 2003, and from 2014 to 2019 held a professorship at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste Nürnberg.
