About the Item

All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery.
Roxanne Lowit's works are a glimpse behind the scenes of the world of art and fashion. This image depicts three women sitting at a table chatting and gossiping. They are wearing chic dresses and jewelry. The collection of plates and glasses on the table in front of them sets the scene at a dinner party.
The woman on the left is Nan Kempner. Born in California, the fashion collector moved to New York with her husband and quickly became one of the city's most influential socialites and fashion icons.
On the right sits Jaqueline de Ribes, a French socialite and fashion designer. She also managed the Cuevas Ballet, worked with museums and charities, and nature conservation.
The image is a nostalgic nod to the glitz and glam of New York's high society in the second half of the 20th century, the economic boom, and the escapades of the art scene that came with it. The grainy black and white typical for Lowits' analog photography helps create a graphic and memorable image.
Daring poses, red lips, crooked smiles, and sex appeal characterize the photographic oeuvre of the late Roxanne Lowit. Catapulting us straight back into a decade of excess and ecstasy, her unfiltered lens into the 90s reveals more than ever. Uninterested in glossy façades, the star photographer captured the unseen without being voyeuristic. Eternalizing the prime of supermodel culture with Kate Moss and Naomie Campbell, enfant terribles of the art circus, such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, or dictators of taste, such as Karl Lagerfeld, Lowit's work embodies the Who's Who. Effortlessly glamorous, Lowit's visual language underlines carefree moments and encounters of the rich and famous.

Roxanne Lowit
Photographer Roxanne Lowit was at the forefront of recording modern culture for more than four decades. With her camera, she captured the grit within the glamor, bringing out the truest essence of each subject.
Lowit had no formal training in photography. She graduated from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in art history and textile design. She had a successful career as a designer, but also had a penchant for painting. Many people offered to sit for her paintings, but her busy schedule did not allow for lengthy sessions. Instead, she would take photographs to use as references when she had time to work on her art.
She enjoyed the instant gratification of producing an image through the lens. She began her photography practice in earnest at New York fashion shows, taking pictures of her own designs. Soon, models such as Jerry Hall were inviting her backstage to the shows. Her behind-the-scenes shots catapulted her into icon status in the fashion industry.
She later expanded her focus beyond fashion. Throughout her illustrious career, Lowit photographed world-famous cultural figures, like American Pop artist Andy Warhol, Spanish Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí and American singer Madonna.
Many prestigious venues have displayed Lowit’s work, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Andy Warhol Museum. Her work is part of the permanent collection of Japan’s Kobe Fashion Museum.
The American, French, German and Italian editions of Vogue all included Lowit’s photographs on their pages, as did many other notable publications, including GQ and Vanity Fair. Lowit produced advertising work for many major companies, including Armani, De Beers and Land Rover. Lowit published four books of her photography, including Roxanne Lowit Photographs Yves Saint Laurent in 2014. She died in 2022.
