About the Item
Lisa Kauffmann on a balcony in Paris, a cigarette in her hand, the Arc de Triomphe in the background - in vintage look.

All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery.
This is a striking black and white photograph taken in Paris, with the illuminated Arc de Triomphe as a dramatic backdrop in the night skyline. The image appears to have been shot from an elevated position, possibly a rooftop or balcony.
In the foreground, Lisa is photographed wearing a luxurious fur coat, leaning against what appears to be a wall or ledge. The composition creates a beautiful contrast between the intimate foreground portrait and the iconic Parisian monument in the background. The lighting is masterfully handled, with the subject dramatically lit to emphasize their facial features and the texture of the fur coat, while the city lights twinkle in the background.
The photograph exemplifies Watson's signature style, which combines fashion photography with artistic portraiture and architectural elements. His technical expertise is evident in how he balanced the exposure between the brightly lit monument and the more intimately lit foreground subject.
The image has a timeless quality that was characteristic of high-fashion photography in the 1990s, yet it also feels contemporary. The juxtaposition of the glamorous subject against one of Paris's most famous landmarks creates a powerful statement about fashion, luxury, and the eternal allure of the City of Light.
This photograph demonstrates Watson's ability to create images that transcend simple fashion photography to become artistic statements about beauty, culture, and place.
Albert Watson is a veteran of international fine art-, fashion- and commercial photography, a non-conformist intellectual and uncompromising creative force. The multitalented photographer, director and graphic designer has developed an iconic style of his own and created a luminous artistic body of work, in both technical and aestethic terms. He 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.

Albert Watson
Albert Watson studied graphic design before becoming a photographer. His manipulation of contrast and superior sense of composition distinguish his portraits of celebrities and models. With an emphasis on the formal and sculptural properties of his sitters' bodies, Watson's images have not only appeared in numerous American and European fashion magazines but also in museum and gallery exhibitions.
In Watson’s famous nude photographs of Kate Moss taken on her 18th birthday in 1993, the model's spine pokes through the skin of her curved back, like the scales of a dinosaur, while the right side of her body is entirely shaded. In a 1989 portrait, Naomi Campbell's head is silhouetted against a grey surface, while her bare shoulders and the arch of her back are illuminated. In 2010, he was awarded the Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship.

Argentini’s work is characterized by an underlying fantasy vision. His women are untouchable and alien, inhabitants of mysterious spheres, while at the same time radiating a confident physicality. Although Argentini’s style is quite unmistakable, he loves diversity and variety and repeatedly finds novel ways of communicating his visual fantasies.
