Publisher's Synopsis
The photographic works of Gunther Blum are placed by today's critics on the same level as contemporary works by Robert Mapplethorpe, Helmut Newton or Lucien Clergue. His exceptional artistic examination of the possibilities and ideas of the medium has made his work popular among collectors. The female mude has always been Blum's main motif. Making a decisive use of composition, gestures, light and intention, he at times pushes his works to very borders of erotic provocation. His work bears witness to an intensity and passion that arises anew with each and every subject.
