A retrospective exhibition by British celebrity photographer Terry O'Neill (1938-2019). The exhibition FAMOUS features more than 125 portraits of international music legends, movie stars and fashion icons from the 1960s and 1970s in particular. In addition to exclusive colorized editions, the focus is on classic black-and-white portraits.

Terry O'Neill is one of the world's most iconic and influential photographers of the past 60 years. Members of the British royal family and prominent politicians were also in front of his camera. His casual, intimate photographs showed the human side of celebrities. The legendary photographer maintained a personal connection with many of them.

The list of international celebrities is impressive. O'Neill photographed The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Elton John in their early years. He portrayed such stars as Marlene Dietrich, Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor, Ursula Andress, Raquel Welch, Liza Minnelli, Roger Moore and Sean Connery. Portraits of Frank Sinatra, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Faye Dunaway, to whom he was married for several years, are among his best-known photographs. Supermodels such as Jean Shrimpton, Christy Turlington and Kate Moss are also not missing.
