Featuring photographs in black-and-white and color, the presentation will shed light on Arrowsmith's image-making practice, bringing together a selection of the artist’s iconic fashion photographs as well as works that never been available for sale before. Clive Arrowsmith is one of the world's most celebrated fashion and celebrity photographers. He has photographed icons including David Bowie, Yoko Ono, Yves Saint Laurent, Sammy Davis Jr., David Hockney, Andy Warhol, Paul McCartney among others.
Olaf Breuning is a contemporary Swiss artist whose works introduce viewers to surreal and humorous worlds through performance, film, sculpture, and drawing. Breuning has exhibited at Metro Pictures, New York; Kunsthall Stavanger, Stavanger; Centre d‘art Contemporain, Geneva and Palais de Tokyo, Paris.
The organic and artistic process of Calle Henzel has been the driving force in the development of his work. He has over the years in an uncompromised fashion challenged the traditional conventions of subject matter, shape, finishings and special treatments as a result of painstaking research that includes vintage treatments, intricate surface compositions and even natural erosion – methodologies that further blur the distinction between art and design. Calle Henzel has collaborated with some of the most prominent names and foundations in contemporary art including; Richard Prince, Nan Goldin, Mickalene Thomas, Lawrence Weiner, Douglas Gordon, Anselm Reyle, Juergen Teller, Tom of Finland Foundation and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, among others. His collaborations and own designs has been exhibited at prominent venues such as MOCA, Katonah Museum of Art, Boca Raton Museum of Art, Rossana Orlandi Gallery and The Goss-Michael Foundation.
Katerina Jebb is a multidisciplinary artist who has devised a system employing digital scanning machines to create works of art. Through her exploration of the medium in parallel with technological innovation Jebb manufactures composite imagery which contradicts the immediacy of its making. The resulting images have been recognized as a new visual medium and included in museums notably The Whitney Museum New York, The Metropolitan Museum New York, and V&A Museum London. Jebb’s work was the subject of a solo exhibition in 2016 at Musée Réattu Arles, France.
Robert Knoke has obsessively developed an impressive body of work with a unique and vigorous signature style. His depiction of the human face and figure, neither illustrative nor defined by context, is delicate, sophisticated and elegant, and at times even dark, brutal and disturbing. People that have sat for Robert Knoke include Iris Apfel, Fabien Baron, Bret Easton Ellis, Nicola Formichetti, Gilbert & George, Gossip, Debbie Harry, Roni Horn, Marc Jacobs, The Kills, Terence Koh, Rick Owens, Andrée Putman, Patti Smith, Casey Spooner, Michael Stipe, Liza Thorn, Lawrence Weiner and Olivier Zahm, to name a few.
For two decades, Mary McCartney has explored the female gaze and a broad range of subjects, examining nuanced aspects of identity, vulnerability and femininity through her lens. Whether the subjects are world-famous or unknown, familiar to her or not, she has uesd the camera to gain a deeper understanding of their true selves . Authenticity and truthfulness are key denominators in McCartney’s search of the naturally inspiring and beautiful in humanity and nature, using the camera to develop and discover the world. What sets Mary’s work apart from her contemporaries is a raw and effortless dedication to immerse herself into the worlds of her subjects, which once captured by her intuitive eye find a way t o represent and project the truthfulness of both subject and artist.
