Simply the Best. Tina Turner by Peter Lindbergh

TASCHEN Publishing | Photography, music, and the portrait of a legend

This book presents a carefully curated collection of portraits of Tina Turner taken by photographer Peter Lindbergh over several decades. Through intimate, spontaneous, and deeply expressive images, Lindbergh documents both Turner's powerful stage presence and her more personal and reflective side. From international locations to everyday landscapes, the photographs reveal the artist in all her authenticity.

The volume includes a foreword by Erwin Bach—Turner's husband and music producer—that brings an intimate dimension to the project. Each photograph is a testament to the creative complicity between the two artists and the respect they shared.

Published by TASCHEN, this edition brings together scenes captured in Paris, beaches, studios, and concerts, charting a visual narrative of a key figure in 20th-century musical culture.
