Summary: Photographer Angelika Platen's aesthetically convincing portraits of artists. taken during the turbulent years from 1968 to 1974. recall an amazingly prolific era for art. Angelika Platen's portraits of artists vividly remind us of the dramatic and momentous changes that occurred in both art and society in the late sixties and early seventies. Her photographs depict more than 60 artists who were practically unknown at the time but have since achieved fame. Platen drew her inspiration from the unique individuality of the artists and their works; her aesthetic goal was to portray the artists in their own context.
