LaChapelle, Artists and Prostitutes - Reviews
"A daring, lysergic, visionary work that questions our ideas of gender, consumerism, religion, pornography, fashion and pop culture... LaChapelle's photographs are a visceral thrill for the eyes: more an emotional rush than a cerebral calm."Prestige Magazine, ShanghaiChina |

"The coolest living photographer David LaChapelle's best collection is instantly sold out all over the world. One of the most successful titles in the SUMO series, LaChapelle's heavy and luxurious Artists & Prostitutes, 170,000 yen, 688 pages, 34.5 x 50 cm was gone within minutes! He has been knocking out many celebrities such as Pamela Anderson, David Beckham, Paris Hilton, Eminem or even Madonna. Get the book with pre-publication price, no doubt its value will rise soon."Restir.com, TokyoJapan |

"The photographer's madcap, self created world gets it due shine with the new Artists & Prostitutes, an XL sized book dripping with colourful imagery, surrealism for the post-digital era. With only 2,500 copies being printed worldwide, each signed and numbered by LaChapelle himself, Artists & Prostitutes is a tome as rare as the mind from which it came."Trace Magazine, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Love him or hate him. There's no denying the impact of photographer David LaChapelle's images... The super sized Artists & Prostitutes is a greatest-hits collection that presents LaChapelle's most celebrated images in all their colour-saturated glory."Metro, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"...LaChapelle has been given the TASCHEN giant-book treatment. This May sees the publication of a collection of his work, called Artists & Prostitutes, and there's great fun to be had deciding which of these categories his various subjects fall into. In fact, publisher Benedikt Taschen himself appears in the book as one of LaChapelle's willing victims, buttocks bared, his wife (now ex-wife actually) naked beside him poised to give him a good thrashing. You just don't get that with Thames & Hudson.... The book is terrific. His work has never looked bigger or better, and has certainly never been glossier."Modern Painters, LondonUnited Kingdom |
|
"Despite the unfortunate kindergarten art-critic title, Artists & Prostitutes is a true collector's item (...) But enough of the prostitutes. Chances are you're more interested in the slew of shots featuring LaChapelle's ladies (Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton et al whose inherent sluttiness and plastic-fantastic aesthetic complement the man's surreal genius to mesmerising effect."Arena, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"LaChapelle's photos still manage to exert a strange, seductive power with their sly humour."Observer Magazine, LondonUnited Kingdom |
