The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Throughout the 1990s, supermodel Claudia Schiffer and renowned fashion photographer Arthur Elgort collaborated on a number of memorable editorial and fashion campaigns that helped define the visual identity of an era. As one of the most prominent faces of the supermodel generation, Schiffer was frequently photographed for leading publications such as Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar—all of which were long-time showcases for Elgort’s distinctive style. Arthur Elgort, celebrated for introducing a spontaneous and movement-driven aesthetic to fashion photography, brought a sense of naturalism and vitality to his images. His preference for shooting in natural light and on location allowed for a relaxed, cinematic approach that departed from the more static studio portraiture of earlier decades. This style perfectly complemented Schiffer’s screen-goddess beauty and charm, often evoking comparisons to Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe, yet with a distinctly modern self-assurance. Their collaborations often featured Schiffer in moments of candid grace—walking city streets, caught mid-laugh, or basking in sunlight—imbuing the imagery with a sense of freedom, elegance, and youthfulness. Whether dressed in haute couture or casual fashion, Schiffer embodied an effortless glamour that Elgort captured with fluid precision. Together, Schiffer and Elgort produced fashion imagery that remains iconic: timeless, aspirational, and deeply evocative of the spirit of the 1990s. These photographs not only celebrated the model’s magnetism but also showcased Elgort’s enduring ability to humanize high fashion—transforming editorial photography into scenes of everyday beauty and energy. Arthur Elgort is an acclaimed American fashion photographer, renowned for his signature "snapshot" style that brought a fresh, spontaneous energy to fashion imagery. Rising to prominence in the 1970s with Vogue, his work revolutionized fashion photography by incorporating movement and natural light. Elgort’s iconic images have been featured in prestigious museum exhibitions worldwide, including at the International Center of Photography in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, solidifying his status as a transformative figure in modern photography.

"Art of Fishnet AOF09" Photography 40" x 40" in Ed. of 10 by Giuliano Bekor Art of Fishnet series Title of artwork: Art of Fishnet series AOF09 Year: 2014 Print size: 40x40 inch Rarity: Limited edition of 10 Medium: Printed on the highest resolution fine art archival Somerset Velvet paper Not framed. Ships in tube. Signature: Hand-signed by artist Certificate of authenticity Included ( Issued by Artist/Gallery ) ABOUT THE ARTIST Internationally recognized photographer, Giuliano Bekor, holds a portfolio that includes work from the realms of fashion, beauty, celebrity, advertising, and fine art. Giuliano’s photography has been featured in top publications around the globe, and his client list includes an endless file of beauty industry leaders, advertising agencies, celebrities, producers, and artists. With 30 years in the industry, Giuliano has perfected his craft to an exceptional level of expertise. Composed of light, color, space and form, Giuliano brings ideas conceptualized in his own imagination into reality throughout his work. Currently living between New York and Los Angeles, Giuliano is often on the move traveling for work and inspiration. Always the restless visionary, he ceases to continually express his fresh and nuanced style. For Giuliano Bekor, a photograph is an image that comes into being consciously, composed of light, color, space and form. Like a painter, he sketches, refining ideas through pen and pencil well before the shutter clicks. A camera is strictly a means to an end, a way of making a palpable visual record of an idea that gestates in his mind, gains shape by his hand, and resolves through his eye as it peers through the lens. His subject is the human body, almost always nude. These images delve into the splendor of the body - how it can express the inner meaning of who we are. Limbs, torsos, muscles and bones are exposed as though carved out of a supple, glowing stone that flexes and twists. Many of these photographs feature subjects posed with the eyes obscured, the face covered. If we look closely, Bekor says, we can see that the body is as much a window into the soul as the eyes. This is a gallery of the soul etched into the forms we assume in the physical world. Through exaggerated contrast between light and dark, smooth and textured, vaporous and tactile, Giuliano deliberately filters the extraneous. The camera captures the image, but for Bekor each exposure is a transformation - of himself, his subjects, and us. He is digging into uneasy turf, fraught with tension: masculine/feminine, heroic/cowardly, shameless/shameful, eternal/fleeting. The intensity of detail, the fiercely exquisite perfection of the bodies themselves, the unflinching, scrupulous engagement of the lens, negates all pretense of politeness. Confronted, we are summoned to look. So we must. And we do. And we experience the beautiful human forms we inhabit and the silent, eloquent language they speak.
