About the Item

Miles Davis in Concert, 1989 The image shows the legendary American jazz musician Miles Davis performing live on stage in 1989. He is playing the trumpet, fully immersed in his performance, with his signature style and expressive presence. Davis is wearing a shimmering blue blouse, dark red velvet trousers, and a metallic belt that reflects the dramatic stage lighting. His sunglasses and inward focus give him a mysterious, iconic look—characteristic of his performances in the late 1980s. The backdrop is dark, and the stage is bathed in intense red and blue lights, highlighting his figure while the drummer in the background is softly out of focus. This photograph captures a powerful moment from the late career of one of jazz’s most innovative and influential figures.

About Tassilo Leher: Born in the dark years of World War II, Tassilo Leher became an icon of photographic art in divided Germany. As the son of war correspondent Karl Leher, whose lens captured moments of contemporary history, he was born in 1940 in the heart of Berlin. He shared not only the studio in the picturesque Prenzlauer Berg with his father, but also the mysterious world of the darkroom. While Karl Leher, an early riser, made use of the morning hours, Tassilo found his creative flow only by midday, often working late into the night. His camera knew no bounds: from the dazzling stars of East German show business like Phudys, Karat, Hildegard Kneef, Manfred Krug, Bubi Scholz, to international greats such as Dean Reed, Karel Gott, Jiri Korn, and Costa Cordalis – all found themselves in front of his lens. The Friedrichstadt-Palast and numerous film sets became his stages, where he played with light and shadow to perfectly frame famous...
