1996

About the Item

All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. This piece is a stunning portrait of the famous French actress Catherine Deneuve in an elegant black top and voluminous blowout, reminiscent of the 90s. She is holding a wine glass and looking into the distance. The stark black-and-white contrast of the image underlines the dramatic features of her face. The saturated colors of the broiling desert against the piercing blue of the clear sky or the cool palette of an intimate black-and-white portrait, Michel Comte can do it all. The Swiss star photographer has made his mark on fashion and celebrity photography since his first international advertising campaign for Karl Lagerfeld in 1979. Comte’s oeuvre truly is the work of a homme modern – capturing the most celebrated figures of the century, from boxers to supermodels, such as Carla Bruni or Helena Christensen. His portraits, nudes, or fashion campaigns always come exceptionally close to his subjects and create an intimate setting for the viewer.

  • Vivienne Westwood, Paris - Nadja Auermann backstage, fine art photography, 1995
    By Roxanne Lowit
    Located in Vienna, AT
    All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Roxanne Lowit's backstage photography of the 80s and 90s is iconic and helped shape the cultural world of the late 20th century. This Portrait was taken at the Vivienne Westwood fall-fashion show in Paris in 1995. The Collection was titled 'Vive la Cocotte' and focused on undergarments to create exaggerated silhouettes. In typical Westwood style, the show was a contrast to the classic 90s aesthetic, which is perfectly captured in this Portrait of the Model Nadja Auermann. She is wearing a Corset top richly adorned with ruffles, bows, and flower print. Her black leather gloves contrast the light tulle skirt and stola. She looks directly at the camera with pursed lips, even further exaggerating her porcelain doll makeup. The classic Vivienne Westwood pearl choker...

    By Lynda Churilla
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Listing is for UNFRAMED print. Inquire within for framing. Edition 1 of 10. If the exhibition piece is sold or the customer orders a different print size, the photograph is produced upon purchase. Please allow two weeks for production. Shipping time depends on method of shipping. Price is subject to availability. The Robin Rice Gallery reserves the right to adjust this price depending on the current edition of the photograph. In her new exhibition Churilla draws from her years spent as a swimmer, lifeguard, and athlete to capture the forgotten freedom and exuberance of days of youth spent on the water. Viva la Vida is a mix of timeless portraits and candid photographs "I’ve always been drawn to the water- now my art, my sense of athleticism, freedom and oasis have merged in a way", says Churilla. Her nod to iconic photographers from the past, such as Edward Weston, and Herbert List, is apparent in her portrait work. In another Christian & Nathan Fletcher is in the midst of a surf crusade off the coast of Islamorada, Florida. Christian pioneered a new revolution in surfing style with his aerial techniques. The artist’s genuine connection to her subjects allows the viewer to forget the presence of a camera and to be drawn into the personal narrative. The invitational image Longboard Afternoon, taken at Ditch Plains, Montauk, focuses on the portrayal of the atmosphere rather than the individual subjects. With a 70’s feel the viewer is intrigued by the layers of life, activity and parallel moments shared by silhouettes of surfers carrying longboards at hazy days end. One such image, Gustavo, depicts a male figure seated poolside with head bowed. The pose and the wet sheen to his hair and skin give the subject a classic, sculptural look. All the photographs exhibited in are in various sizes are printed on heavy weight cotton paper with the traditional glossy baryta surface in rich tones of black and white. Her artist mother, Barbara Churilla, involved her in creating art, sculpture, painting and photography from an early age. She was raised in Princeton, New Jersey. She graduated from School of Visual Arts in NYC with a BFA in Photography. Lynda began her photo assisting career with legendary photographer Bruce Weber. Over a period of almost a decade she traveled the world with Weber learning not only knowledge of photography, but also life. Eventually becoming his trusted first assistant before embarking on her own photography adventure. Churilla’s work has been celebrated in American Photo, where she was heralded as one of the young visionaries of 21st century. She has photographed numerous celebrities, such as Cameron Diaz, Jewel, Olivier Martinez, Coldplay, Pet Shop Boys...
