From June 4, 2016 to July 3, 2016, the Atelier Jungwirth in Graz/Austria presents the exhibition 'Race Fever' with selected works by Rainer W. Schlegelmilch.
In 1962, a young Rainer W. Schlegelmilch attended his first car race at the Nürburgring, in his home-country of Germany. The visit sparked a fascination that has endured for many decades. Over the course of his career, the Leica photographer has probably captured more than 600 Grand Prix races – earning him the name 'the Eye of Formula One', while Bernie Ecclestone granted him a lifelong access pass to the legendary event. Schlegelmilch has dedicated more than 40 photo books to Formula One alone. His extraordinary images have been exhibited around the world.
The historic significance of Schlegelmilch's archive is beyond doubt: it encompasses more than 400,000 negatives, slides and digital images captured at motor races. An exclusive excerpt of this body of work will be showing at the Atelier Jungwirth from 4 June 2016 to 3 July 2016, along with a 12-part special on German racing driver Jochen Rindt.
