About the Item

Supermodel in checkerboard Haute Cotoure, photographed by Albert Watson. 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. Albert Watson's photograph "Gabrielle Reece in Piero Panchetti, Los Angeles" is an arresting and highly conceptual piece of art that merges fashion, abstraction, and the human form. In this image, the renowned model Gabrielle Reece is completely enveloped in a checkerboard-patterned fabric, which distorts her figure to the point where her human shape becomes a mystery to the viewer. The play between the geometric patterns and the soft contours of the body creates an almost optical illusion, inviting the audience to question where the fabric ends and the person begins. By obscuring the familiar features of Reece, Watson pushes the boundaries of fashion photography into the realm of the abstract, prompting an exploration of form, identity, and visual perception. The result is a powerful fusion of art and design that transforms the human body into an enigmatic, nearly unrecognizable entity, while still evoking a sense of elegance and style. From the iconic Hitchcock series to extravagant shoots for Iris van Herpen, the British star photographer is one of the founding fathers of fine art photography. Throughout the last four decades, Albert Watson has made a name for himself as one of the world’s most successful fashion and advertising photographers, creating over 100 Vogue covers. Mick Jagger, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, or David Bowie – Watson has captured the Who’s Who. No matter the genre, landscape, portraiture, nudes, or fashion, Watson is always curious and ready to venture into new subject worlds and has remained just as an essential creative force to this day. Watson has had retrospective exhibitions at renowned museums and art institutions, such as the Kunsthaus Wien, Vienna, The Museum of Modern Art, Milan, The Photography Museum, Antwerp, and the NWR forum in Duesseldorf. His images are in the private collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Portrait Gallery in London.
