Juergen Teller photographed Charlotte Rampling and Raquel Zimmermann nude at the Louvre next to Mona Lisa. Rampling commented on the shoot:
“We live in a sexist society, we live in an ageist society. So when we start looking a bit tired and old, we’re put out to grass. I can fight it more because I’m not in the system.”
Rampling was 63 when the photographs were taken, and she looks fabulous!
Juergen Teller commented on the shoot:
“After I exhibited this picture, a lot of journalists and critics asking me: what is the motivation and reason to shoot Raquel Zimmermann and Charlotte Rampling naked in the Louvre? They were referring to other artists and photographers. I thought: bloody hell, they all miss the point. Having the Louvre to yourself, with Charlotte naked in front of the Mona Lisa – that’s enough for me”
