LaChapelle, Artists and Prostitutes - Critiques
| "Of all the photographers inventing surreal images, it is Mr. LaChapelle who has the potential to be the genre's Magritte."— Richard Avedon, The New York Times, États-Unis | |
| "In David LaChapelle`s Artists & Prostitutes, TASCHEN gathered some of LaChapelle`s most striking stills. Breasts feature prominently in LaChapelle`s work, especially those of the uber-sized Pamela Anderson and of the number one transsexual Amanda Lapore, all while exploring themes of pornography, the cult of celebrity, mass consumerism, decadence, body as commodity, and fantasy."— Juxtapoz, San Francisco, États-Unis | |
| "Una antología del trabajo fotográfico de Lachapelle, desde 1985 hasta el 2005. Publicado por la editora TASCHEN Artistas y Prostitutas resulta polémico desde su título. (...) El resultado: no hay quien se resista a lo provocativo de su arte, nada más échele un ojo."— Vanguardia, México D.F., Mexique | |
| "Qui ne connaît pas encore le célébrissime photographe David LaChapelle? Ce livre de 688 pages, au format XL, relié sous couverture, véritable objet de collection pour les fans, présente par des images pleine page le meilleur de sa carrière à ce jour. Véritable spectacle de mise en scène, saturé de couleurs, cette édition limitée est le bouquin incontournable de tous les amoureux de la photographie. Quel bel hommage au plus audacieux et plus ambitieux photographe de l`histoire du portrait!"— Curious Magazine, Lyon, France | |
| "Benedikt Taschen`s launch party for David LaChapelle`s book Artists & Prostitutes – 688 luscious, full-bleed, color pics of the likes of Madonna, Lil` Kim, Courtney Love, and David Beckham, most of them with very little on – took place in the garden of the Setai Hotel last night. It featured what appeared to be a giant pink plastic tent floating in the middle of the pool. High profile guests included Larry Gagosian and ‘Judy` Lybke of Eigen&Art surveyed this peculiar structure the secret of which was eventually unveiled by the mighty Taschen himself. Nesting in the middle was a naked, busty model, turning the giant pages of Chapelle`s jumbo-sized work."— The Art Newspaper, Art Basel Miami Beach, États-Unis | |
| "Perhaps the most hotly anticipated release―and the only one for which you may have to take out a second mortgage―is the fab David LaChapelle`s Artists & Prostitutes: 1985-2005."— Genre, New York, États-Unis | |
| This book really sets new standards of hyped mindless meaningless drivel. To allude that it has any relationship to the surrealism of Magritte would seem to indicate that Avedon either doesn't understand Magritte or is sadly now senile.— Robert Ashby, Royaume-Uni | |
| "A volume of photography which is sexy like shiny stiletto heels. The only link between Andy Warhol and J-Lo, LaChapelle has opened his archive to TASCHEN, GQ's favourite publisher of pop culture. The 690-page opus is the coffee-table topper of 2006."— GQ, Top 100 Things 2006 List, London, Royaume-Uni | |
| "A lot of nudity is just gratuitous. But someone who makes me laugh is David LaChapelle. I think he`s very bright, very funny and good."— Helmut Newton, The New York Times, États-Unis | |
| "La consécration livresque est intervenue, en 2006, sous la forme d`un objet de collection, de taille XXL (34.5 x 50 cm) dont l`éditeur allemand TASCHEN a la spécialité. Pas moins de 698 pages « saignantes à mort » rassemblées sous le titre, LaChapelle, Artists&Prostitutes, qui retracent la courte mais déjà riche carrière."— Vogue Hommes International, Paris, France | |
