LaChapelle, Heaven to Hell - Reviews

Page [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

"Those familiar with the unmistakably provocative and surreal style of photographer David LaChapelle will not be disappointed by this 344-page compilation of his newest work. The final book in a trilogy including LaChapelle Land and Hotel LaChapelle somehow manages to speak louder than its predecessors with its sharp social commentary, absurd juxtapositions, and vivid, far-from-G-rated images." Dwell, San Francisco United States

"Das Buch ist ein echtes Sammlerstück, das man haben muss." Chip, München Germany

"Large and in charge in a hardcover box designed to contain its fire, the third installment in David LaChapelle`s notorious trilogy features more than twice as many of his color-saturated, fantastically surreal portraits of celebrity, fashion and pop culture figures…Drawing inspiration from the Bible, the Renaissance, globalization, cinema and of course his muse Amanda Lepore, LaChapelle gives new meaning to baroque style with photographs that defy the ordinary." NEXT Magazine, New York United States

"Some might say Heaven to Hell is not for the faint hearted, others not unlike myself, could say we have seen it all before. However, the book is very interesting, and ought not to be overlooked." Erotic Review, London United Kingdom

"El fotógrafo americano más imitado por los profesionales del mundo de la imagen ha publicado Heaven to Hell (TASCHEN)... En 344 páginas, el fotógrafo que tuvo su primera oportunidad laboral de manos de Andy Warhol en la revista Interview –quizá eso ya era una señal de que sus paisajes pasarían a formar parte de la historia de la imagen-mezcla surrealismo y arte pop, divas y prostitutas, imágenes bíblicas y orgías imposibles." El Periódico de Aragón, Zaragoza Spain

"Con este espectacular libro de formato grande y pasta dura LaChapelle cierra la trilogía que inició con LaChapelle Land y Hotel LaChapelle.... Hay pasión, náusea, frustraciones, erotismo, sueños, paraísos, seducción, amor y, sobre todo, mucha polémica. Un documento gráfico que marcará una pauta en la historia de la cultura popular." Rolling Stone, México D.F. Mexico

"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, Shanghai China

"This is the third volume in a trilogy that's fast becoming a collector's item, making it a seriously smug coffee table addition. Even more sumptuous than it's predecessors, it's a must-have for anyone who's interested in photography." Glamour, London United Kingdom

"Oh, happy day when David LaChapelle releases a new photo book. The third volume of a triology that includes his previous LaChapelle Land and Hotel LaChapelle, Heaven to Hell is almost twice their size. Joyous candy-colors conceal the tawdry, surreal set-ups at first glance—from a car crash involving a SUV and a giant, inflatable can of Coke to Sarah Jessica Parker posing in her panties and trench coat on a crowded subway car. Whether it`s the celeb snaps or the downtown start who catch your fancy, any fan of photography will be thrilled with Heaven to Hell." HX Magazine, New York United States

"Heaven to Hell is a coffee-table-sized photo spectacular from David LaChapelle. It says a lot about the elaborate, constructed compositions LaChapelle takes that thanks are given in the acknowledgements to set-builders and DJs. All sorts of celebs are given heavenly or hellish scenarios to enact. . ." The Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco United States
