Baader-Meinhof Group

The Red Army Faction (RAF; German: Rote Armee Fraktion), in its early stages commonly known as Baader-Meinhof Group, was a West German far-left militant group. The RAF was founded in 1970 by Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin, Horst Mahler and Ulrike Meinhof. It was held responsible for thirty-four deaths and many injuries in its almost thirty years of activity. The West German government considered the RAF to be a terrorist organization.

In 1968 Richard Selby was commissioned to portrait the members of the Baader-Meinhof Group, including Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof and Fritz Teufel. Model, idealist or terrorist, when posing for Richard Selby you know it will be nude. His photographs were published in Twen magazine, that until that year was part of the Axel Springer Publishing Company.
