Juergen Teller
Teller, who made his name as a fashion photographer, has filled his recent gallery shows with more autobiographical work. For this exhibition, pictures of he young son and daughter are hung along with several nude self-portraits (in one, he is reduced to a jutting erection alongside his wife's pregnant belly), all of which are juxtaposed with shots of weeds growing in the abandoned Nazi parade grounds at Nuremberg. Teller grew up there and lives nearby now, so personal and national histories come together in his work, and the result has a kind of rude charm. Through Feb. 11. (Lehmann Maupin, 540 W. 26th St. 212-255-2923.)
