About the Item
Horst P Horst (1906-1999)
Mainbocher Corset, Paris, 1939
Signed on reverse
Silver gelatin print
14 x 11 inches
Round the Clock is endowed with fastidious precision and the enigmatic ambiance of a characteristic Horst image. The chiaroscuro befalling the legs from ankle to suspender compounds a sense of drama instantly recognisable to those familiar with the artist’s fashion archive – compiled across six decades.
In the 1980s, during this second peak in his career, Horst produced new prints for museums and the collectors’ market, some of which were printed in platinum-palladium. Horst was a meticulous photographic technician, and these prints – of which the present work is one such example – are now prized for their nuanced tones, surface quality and enduring form.

Horst P. Horst
Horst P. Horst (born Horst Paul Albert Bohrmann) was one of the towering figures of 20th-century fashion photography.
Best known for his work with Vogue, who called him “photography’s alchemist," Horst rose to prominence in Paris in the interwar years, publishing his first work with the magazine in 1931. In the decades that followed, Horst’s experimentations with radical composition, nudity, double exposures and other avant-garde techniques would produce some of the most iconic fashion images ever, like Mainbocher Corset and Lisa with Harp (both 1939).
As the New York Times once described, “Horst tamed the avant-garde to serve fashion.” Though associated most closely with fashion photography, Horst captured portraits of many of the 20th century’s brightest luminaries, dabbling with influences as far-ranging as Surrealism and Romanticism.
“I like taking photographs because I like life,” Horst once said. “And I love photographing people best of all because most of all I love humanity.”
