Roxanne Lowit
David Bowie, Damien Hirst, Julian Schnabel, New York

1996

About the Item

Legendary portrait of 3 famous contemporary artists - all three are smoking. Roxanne Lowit’s portfolio is a tribute to the world of glamour and the creative elite. After over three decades of celebrity and backstage photography Roxanne Lowit has become a star in her own right. Her work has left its mark, and her distinctive style has influenced the visual culture of an epoch. Her photographs are documents and historical records at the same time. Most of them black-and-white, they reveal quite clearly that Lowit is more interested in the inner world behind the glamorous façade. Her pictures smoothly combine glamour and the underlying spirit, countenance and atmosphere, surface detail with depth.

The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Daring poses, red lips, crooked smiles along with sex appeal and a certain je-ne-sais-quoi characterize the photographic oeuvre of the late Roxanne Lowit. Uninterested in glossy façades, the star photographer captures the unseen without being voyeuristic. Catapulting us straight back into a decade of excess and ecstasy, her unfiltered lens into the 90s reveals more than ever before. Eternalising enfant terribles of the art circus...
