Angelika Platen (born 1942) is one of the most important German photographers in the field of artist portrait photography. Since the late 1960s, she has precisely and sensitively documented the faces and personalities of the international art scene – from emerging talents to world-famous icons.
Her photographs depict artists not only as public figures but also as people in focused, often intimate moments. Among her most famous portraits are images of Joseph Beuys, Sigmar Polke, Marina Abramović, Georg Baselitz, Neo Rauch, Ai Weiwei, Wolfgang Tillmans, and many others.
Platen prefers working in black and white and focuses on natural lighting as well as authentic settings – often in the studio, during work, or in personal situations. Her work has been exhibited in numerous museums and institutions, including the Martin-Gropius-Bau Berlin, the Hamburg Kunsthalle, and the ZKM Karlsruhe.
