Go-Sees by Juergen Teller

I recently made myself an early christmas present and purchased this book from a reseller on amazon.com. Go-Sees by Juergen Teller was published back in 1999 by Scalo (doesn't exist anymore unfortunately but was one of the big art book publishers back then) and printed by Steidl (very popular art book publisher today). The book contains lots of portraits of young girls by Juergen Teller that visited him in his atelier in London during the late 90s to present themselves in hope to maybe get the photographer's attention for a consideration in the future. Those visits are called go-sees in the fashion industry. As more and more agency called Teller if they could send some models to his atelier, he told them not to just send the ones the agencies thought were interesting or pretty but to simply send all of the girls they have. So the book presents a really nice demographic study of models in London back in the late 90s.
