Andreas Sterzing is a German photographer who has worked on international magazine assignments and long-term personal projects. His work explores the impact creativity and art can have both on an individual level and on society, and how societal realities in turn influence artists and their work.
In the 1980s Andreas launched his career in New York with photos of Pier 34 and the artists taking part in the project, and with stories about the East Village art scene, in which he was an active participant.
Since then his commissioned work has been published in prestigious publications including Stern, Der Spiegel, Geo, Zeit Magazin, Marie-Claire, DU, King Kong and the New York Times Magazine.
After moving to England in 2004, Andreas started teaching at Falmouth University in Cornwall, where he is now a Senior Lecturer, leading the Professional Practice module at The Institute of Photography.
Exhibitions in museums and galleries include the Whitney Museum of American Art, SeMA (Seoul Museum of Art), KW-Berlin (Kunst-Werke Berlin) Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid, Jeu de Paume in Paris and others.
Andreas’s images are in private and public collections and have featured in books and numerous documentaries about the 1980s New York art scene.
In 2020 his iconic portrait David Wojnarowicz (Silence = Death) 1989 was named as one of “The 25 Most Influential Works of American Protest Art Since World War II” by the New York Times Magazine.
Andreas now divides his time between London and Cornwall.
