Krátky popis
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
survey of a uniquely diverse, dynamic portfolio, it spans nearly
half a century of photography to encounter stars, statesmen, women,
and strangers, bound through neon-blazing cities, find figures
poised, gymnastic, or shimmering with nude eroticism, roam the
bright lights and the backstreets, soak up extravagant sunsets,
enter the controlled studio environment, and breathe in the
elemental wilds of the photographer’s native Scotland. From
Watson’s breakthrough portrait of Alfred Hitchcock for the
Christmas 1973 edition of Harper’s Bazaar to a 2016 shot of Kanye
West, 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, Mick
Jagger, Michael Jackson, 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 recently retired 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dozens of previously unpublished Polaroids, culled from Watson’s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.Collector’s Edition of 1,000 copies (No. 201-1,200), each
numbered and signed by Albert Watson. Also available as four signed
Art Editions (No. 1–200), all with a signed print.
