Anton Corbijn
Corbijn, Anton

Anton Corbijn’s intimate portraits of the greatest artists of our time are known all over the world. In 2025, the master photographer marked a double anniversary – celebrating both his 70th birthday and 50 years of creative work. To mark this special milestone, he opened a major retrospective at Fotografiska, which after a successful premiere in Stockholm and a show in Tallinn will come to Berlin in May 2026.
Corbijn, Anton is a journey through time, following the photographer’s remarkable career from the 1970s to the present day. The exhibition features portraits of music legends such as Depeche Mode, Tom Waits, Patti Smith, Nick Cave, David Bowie, U2, The Rolling Stones, and many others – as well as artists like Gerhard Richter and Ai Weiwei, and leading figures from the world of fashion including Kate Moss, Rick Owens, Naomi Campbell, Virgil Abloh, and more.
“The Corbijn, Anton exhibition is close to my heart as it shows elements of all my periods of photography.”
