Josef Koudelka (born in Moravia, Czech Republic, 1938) is a member of Magnum Photos and has received the Prix Nadar, Grand Prix National de la Photographie, HCB Award, and Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography. His work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and International Center of Photography, New York; Hayward Gallery, London; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and Palais de Tokyo, Paris. Ale Najbrt studied typography and book design with Jan Solpera at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design, Prague. He was an art director of the influential Czech weekly Reflex and founder of his own magazine, Raut. With Pavel Lev, he cofounded Studio Najbrt.
“He has been called ‘larger than life,’ but Koudelka’s essence derives from his obsessive, at times even myopic, engagement in life. He’s too present to be legendary, as he’s so often described. To reduce him to legend is to consider only the construct, the surface . . . ” —Melissa Harris “This is a big book: deeply reported, impeccably contextualized, and both artistically and politically illuminating.” —Design Observer “Melissa Harris’s visual biography, intriguingly titled Next, was written with [Josef Koudelka’s] cooperation, and is a thorough and informative overview of his life and work. Rich in personal ephemera—family portraits, snapshots and glimpses of his many journals—it traces his trajectory from Boskovice, a small town in Moravia, where he had dreams of becoming an engineer, to his status as one of the world’s most revered photographers.” —Guardian “A thrilling and compelling portrait of the artist as he has evolved throughout the course of his life and career. Literally a page-turner.” —Paul Wilson, former band member Plastic People of the Universe
