What makes Albert Watson one of the world’s most revered
photographers, hailed by peers, critics, and collectors alike? Is
it his unparalleled portfolio of celebrity portraits? Breathtaking
landscapes? Sensual nudes, still lifes, illustrious fashion
shoots?KAOS presents a kaleidoscopic overview of Watson’s career to
date and the dazzling array of subjects, objects, people, and
places he has encountered along the way. A skillfully curated and
dynamic portfolio, it spans 50 years of photography as we encounter
stars, statesmen, supermodels and strangers, bound through
neon-blazing cities, find figures poised, or shimmering with nude
eroticism, roam the bright lights and the backstreets, soak up
extravagant sunsets, and breathe in the elemental wilds of the
photographer’s native Scotland.Starting with Watson’s breakthrough
portrait of Alfred Hitchcock for the Christmas 1973 edition of
Harper’s Bazaar, each photograph reverberates with tightly coiled
power, tension, and poetry. Whether it’s a portrait of a Las Vegas
dominatrix, Elvis’s gold suit, a chimpanzee, or a street scene in
China, Watson excels in capturing the surface seamlessly and
probing its myriad depths. Along the way, his celebrity
portraiture, including the likes of David Bowie, Jay Z, Kate Moss,
Jennifer Lopez, Pamela Anderson, Mick Jagger, Jack Nicholson, Steve
Jobs, and Andy Warhol, shows a particular interest in the private
person behind the iconic façade.This remarkable collection is
accompanied by an essay from the former head of photographs at
Christie’s, Philippe Garner, and extensive quotes from Watson, as
well as dozens of previously unpublished Polaroids, culled from
Watson’s personal archives. The result is a defining document of
the “photographer’s photographer,” iridescent in its graphic, often
cinematic allure, and irresistible in its eclectic glory.Also
available as four signed Art Editions (No. 1-200), each with a
signed print.
