LaChapelle, Artists and Prostitutes - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
"David LaChapelle has taken some of the most iconic photographs of recent times. Memorable examples include Eminem holding a Roman candle at crotch level, and his soul mate, Tupac Shakur soaking in a soapy bathtub. But you only need to consider the title of LaChapelle`s new book to see how he really perceives celebrities. LaChapelle`s portraits are never really about his subject, but how that person fits into the erotic and dramatic world he creates in his work. This latest project from TASCHEN promises to be the luxury item for spring. Limited to 2,500 copies, Artists & Prostitutes contains 688 pages of photos and all copies are signed by LaChapelle himself."

"Known as the coolest fashion photographer, David LaChapelle has been leading photography of fashion and culture. His best collection will be introduced in the book Artists and Prostitutes, which is TASCHEN's fifth Sumo book. Amazing 36-year-old American's shocking and vivid images fascinate us very much."

the book is great. the colors on your website are a waste of it. Taschen is by now 6 month late on original release date. HOW DOES THAT TAKE 2 OPEN THE GATE? Nobody responsable but taschen is late... King le-ar.

"Célébrant la photographie visionnaire de David LaChapelle, ce livre de 688 pages, présente le best-of de sa carrière, dont les portraits de Tupak Shakur, Madonna, Amanda Lepore, Pamela Anderson, David Beckham ou Hillary Clinton. Ce travail de l`un des 10 photographes les plus importants, selon American Photo, s`inspire de l`histoire de l`Art comme de la pornographie. Il se veut un miroir de toutes les facettes de la culture populaire d`aujourd`hui."
Homme en Ville, Paris
France
"Le sacre de LaChapelle. Ostentation de couleur, culte de l`apparat, contrastes saturés : David LaChapelle est par excellence le photographe de la démesure, un adepte de tous les signes extérieurs de spectaculaire, un artiste à la proche frontière de l`art. De fait, l`ouvrage qui lui est consacré aujourd`hui joue au fond la carte de l`objet rare : format géant, tirage limité à 2500 exemplaires numérotés et signés, autrement dit des conditions idéales pour parcourir vingt années de portraits hauts en flashy flammes, notamment de Madonna, Hillary Clinton, Andy Warhol, Marilyn Manson, Björk ou Dolly Parton…"

"Tupac taking a bath. A supermodel-seducing dinosaur. A giant killer cheeseburger. Devon Aoki going fishing in an art gallery . . .Only photographer David LaChapelle could pull off such extraordinary concepts and in this 20-year tome to his finest work, Artists and Prostitutes: 1985-2005, LaChapelle`s portraits are presented in a gloriously oversized, full-bleed, nearly 700-page package."

"David LaChapelle's latest photographic offering hardly disappoints on the surrealometer."
Art Review, London
United Kingdom
"De David LaChapelle acaba de sair sob chancela da TASCHEN. Uma viagem surreal à mise en scène descomplexada de algumas estrelas, e do mais extravagante bas fond, num livro XL, de ediçao limitada, soberbamente compilado".
