Photograph by Michel Deverne

About the Item

Deverne (1927-2012) was a visual artist most interested in abstract geometric forms and textures. He was not known for photography and accordingly this surviving image is quite rare. This is a stylized photograph of an actual Deverne wall construction from about 1973. It was taken by the artist but is unsigned. The photograph is mounted on wood and has been damaged by fire. Condition is poor (but quite interesting).

Today some of the best woodcarving in the world is produced in Thailand, primarily in and around Chiang Mai. This elephant was hand-carved from Teak by the region’s master carvers. For the Thais, the elephant represents good fortune, power and nobility and is often found in art. Large wooden elephants...

  • Michael Roberts Original Photograph "Michel Nude" Hamilton's London, 1989
    By Michael Roberts
    Located in Palm Springs, CA
    MICHAEL ROBERTS (1947-2023) PLEASE NOTE: This photograph is a one of a kind original photograph. Every photograph in the show was available to purchase, and only one of each was printed. This large black and white hand printed silver gelatin photograph of "Michel Nude" by the legendary fashion icon, Michael Roberts, London. This image was part of a Michael Roberts show in 1989 at Hamilton's gallery, London. Signed on back. Black metal simple frame. Image: 15" x 19", framed: 22' x 26". This image is one of two that were in the gallery show in London. The images from the show were very rare and now highly sought after and collected after Mr. Robert's death but there are NONE available to purchase. These two images were purchased from that Exhibit from Hamiltons. The second one, "Nude of Michel" is available on separate listing. We hope they are purchased together as they were hung next to each other in the exhibit. MICHAEL ROBERTS: The preferred medium of the fashion journalist Michael Roberts was Canson art paper, which he scissored freehand into crisp-cut collages, or snipped into minute dots to reassemble into mosaics, for magazine covers or book illustrations. His art, bit by bit putting it together, reflected his life in fashion. He wrote about it, commissioned unexpected others to do so, photographed for media and ads, and charmed cranky legendary lensmen into snapping for him. He could source the clothes, choose the crazy locale, stage the shoot’s story, and write a witty critique of the enterprise. He was also always the most elegant person involved, effortlessly cool. Roberts, who has died aged 75, never bothered with a résumé, since every new role or venture seemed to just develop, but they totted up to a serious career. He was a writer on the Sunday Times in the 1970s, when new couture catwalk drama and heightened designer celebrity demanded a fashion voice that was both theatre critic and gossip columnist. Then from 1979 he was art and style director of Tatler magazine, when the editor, Tina Brown...
