Last night we were invited by fotografiska New York to the preview of the exhibition “Color Lehmitz” by Anders Petersen.
An exhibition of the intimate, documentary-style work by the renowned Swedish photographer Anders Petersen. Spotlighting the artist’s acclaimed series Café Lehmitz – a raw, unfettered look at late 1960s Hamburg, Germany – the exhibition includes never-before-seen prints, contact sheets, and hand-written notes by the artist. The exhibition gives an exclusive look into his artistic process, as he sorted through, edited, and selected images during the past 50 years.

Café Lehmitz was a bar in Hamburg, on a street near the port, with over 25 brothels open around the clock. In a neighborhood that never slept, sailors, dock workers, neighborhood residents, prostitutes, and young drifters gathered together to hold onto dear life. The café was a place of survival, where 23 years old Anders was accepted and invited to capture candid moments of the café’s regulars.

When you walk in you are immediately transported into Petersen’s dark room with the red light and the the all his contact sheets. The accordion playing the background makes it feel as the Lehmitz is just next door. Tip: Grab yourself a Sailor cocktail form downstairs and take yourself back to Cafe Lehmitz.
