ANTON CORBIJN アントン・コービン

With the patronage of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
This selective retrospective traces the great portrait photographer's 50-year career of photographing some of the world's greatest stars
Anton Corbijn is best known for immortalising some of the world's greatest artists: Depeche Mode, U2, The Rolling Stones, Gerhard Richter and Ai Weiwei, to name a few. Shot in his distinct style - black-and-white with a slow shutter speed - Corbijn's portraits are visceral, embodying the subtle movements and gestures of his famous subjects. "I feel the imperfection is much closer to how life is than perfection," the artist said, in an interview with TIME magazine in 2015.
In 2025 the master photographer celebrated two anniversaries: his 70th birthday, and 50 years as an artist. This selective retrospective will bring together a range of both iconic and lesser-known images, tracing half a century of his striking portraiture practice.
