About the Item

Half Portrait with Chole Pochette Bag and Hands, photographed by Albert Watson in 1979 for French Vogue. 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 striking black and white fashion photograph showcases a black clutch bag with a silver fan-like embellishment, positioned to cover the upper half of someone's face. The image features two key visual elements: dark-painted fingernails gripping the top of the bag, and dark-painted lips visible below it. The composition creates an elegant, surreal effect where the bag becomes a mask or blindfold. The high contrast and precise symmetry are characteristic of Albert Watson's distinctive photographic 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.
