About

Female Bodybuilders is the second monograph by contemporary artist and photographer Martin Schoeller. In this work, he turns his unique style to female body builders. In Schoeller's words: with Female Bodybuilders, I am trying to show the vulnerability that I see and feel in the subjects when I am with them, to get to the complex emotions behind a mask of extreme physical expression. These women mirror our modern cultural hunger for size, aggression, and attention at any cost. We are in the age of Bigness. This limited print-run monograph is a must-have for collectors of contemporary art and photography.
