Hasta La Ideas

The Rocket Gallery in London recently published a new book by the nonagenarian photographer, Keld Helmer-Petersen, and has just announced an accompanying exhibition of the Danish artist’s work…

Back to Black is the latest book from the Rocket Gallery’s publishing arm and features a collection of some of Helmer-Petersen’s most experimental work to date – certainly his most extensive work with digital manipulation and distortion.

Until April 22, the Rocket Gallery will be staging an exhibition of Helmer-Petersen’s work and books from 1951-2012, including images from Back to Black.

For further information and details on purchasing Back to Black, email Jonathan Stephenson on js.rocket@btinternet.com (the book is limited to 800 copies, £25 each; 100 signed editions are available at £35).

The Rocket Gallery is based in the Tea Building, 56 Shoreditch High Street, London E1 6JJ and open Tuesday to Friday (10am-6pm); Saturday and Sunday (12pm-pm). More at rocketgallery.com.
