Jürgen Klauke (born 6 September 1943) is a German artist. Beginning in the 1960s, he used his own body as a subject of his photographs. ^[1] He also experimented with minimalism and surrealism. The ZKM in Karlsruhe exhibits his work. ^[1] Since 1968 he lives and works in Cologne. ^[2]

Klauke was born in Kliding ^[3] near Cochem, about 70 kilometers southwest of Koblenz, in what became the postwar West German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. He studied graphic arts at the Kölner Werkschulen from 1964 to 1970; toward the end of his studies, he began focusing on photography as a medium of artistic expression. ^[4]

From 1994 to 2008 Klauke was professor of photography at the Kunsthochschule für Medien (Academy of Media Arts), in Cologne. ^{[2] [3]}

In January–February 2016 Klauke had his first solo gallery exhibition in New York City; the show, Jürgen Klauke, Transformer: Photoworks from the 1970s, at Koenig & Clinton, included photographic series completed between 1970 and 1976, primarily featuring costumed and androgynous images of the artist. ^{[5] [6]}
