In an edition of 2200 a sold out photo book of the great Anton Corbijn. Hand signed! House photographer of big bands like U2 and depeche mode, but started with our Herman Brood. This book has been sold out everywhere for years and is a true collectors' item.
The famous (pop) photographer Anton Corbijn met Herman Brood in early 1974 in the province of Groningen and became Herman's court photographer. They had a close bond; even after Corbijn moved to London in 1979, there remained a photographic and personal relationship. This publication on the occasion of the exhibition in the Cobra Museum (5 July - 15 September 2002) mainly contains many photos from the years 1974-1979, which means that there are no photos of Herman's wife Xandra, for example. The atmospheric black and white photos are provided with handwritten, English captions by Corbijn. With a bilingual foreword by Martin Bril and an introduction by the photographer. Brood always said with pride that he himself was the blueprint for the kind of relationship that Corbijn now has with, for example, U2, REM and Depeche Mode.
