About the Item

Albert WATSON (*1942, Scotland) Tree Fairy Glen View from Windshield, 2013 C-print Sheet 243 x 183 cm (95 5/8 x 72 in.) Edition of 3, plus 1 AP; Ed. no. 1/3 Print only Albert Watson was born 1942 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He currently lives and works in New York. A student of the famous Royal College of Art in London Albert Watson (born 1942) is a Scottish photographer well known for his fashion, celebrity, and art photography, having shot over 200 Vogue and 40 Rolling Stone covers since the mid-1970s. His photographs are signature, classical, and bold, and in our world of manipulation, Watson prefers the enlargers and the trays; an artist who greatly enriches our perception with his unique photographic view. Photo District News named Watson one of the 20 most influential photographers of all time, along with Richard Avedon and Irving Penn, among others. Presented in prestigious galleries and museums worldwide Watson has won numerous awards, including a Lucie Award, a Grammy Award, the Hasselblad Masters Award, and three ANDY Awards. He was awarded The Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship (HonFRPS) in recognition of a sustained, significant contribution to the art of photography in 2010. About the series Skye: Albert Watson has captured the perfect image of A-listers, from pop superstars to presidents, in some of the world’s most exotic locations. But, the photographer admits, he has never been happier than hunkered down in the wind and rain of Skye, framing the wild beauty of one of Scotland’s most spectacular islands. Albert lives in New York but a holiday in Skye many years ago made him want to come back and capture it on film. 'It stayed with me as being an unusual, interesting and charismatic place and I wanted to shoot the landscapes,' Albert said. “It was a personal project and a real case of getting back to my roots. I planned it for two years and I went in with a complete back-up crew to help me. 'I was there for six weeks and we did 12 hours every single day. We got up in the dark and finished in the dark.' Such is Albert’s attention to detail, he spent three days just photographing the surface of lochs as the wind changed the patterns on the water. 'I was looking for something mysterious that had atmosphere. I deliberately went in October and November because I was hoping for bad weather – and of course I got it. I find blue sky with white fluffy clouds deadly when it comes to creating a powerful landscape and I was looking for wind and rain and mist.' – Colour, Photography, Nature, Tree, Rain, Landscape, Abstract, Scotland, Isle of Skye

Located in Zurich, CH
Miles ALDRIDGE (*1964, Great Britain) A Perfect Mum #4, 2012 Chromogenic print Image 101,6 x 127 cm (40 x 50 in.) Sheet 113.6 x 139 cm (44 3/4 x 54 3/4 in.) Edition of 6, plus 2 AP, Ed. no. 4/6 Print only A fiercely original photographer, Miles Aldridge (*1964, Great Britain) is best known for the technicolor dream-like worlds he creates and the glamorous, beautiful women who inhabit them. Aldridge creates ultra-cinematic images, drawing inspiration from film directors such as David Lynch and Federico Fellini as well as the psychedelic graphic design of his father, Alan Aldridge. Staged to perfection the stars of Aldridge’s surrealistic stories and technicolour dream-like worlds are glamorous, beautiful women. He captures his subjects in a state of dramatic contemplation, making them more complicated and intriguing than simply beautiful. The women’s immaculate appearance and blank expression leave room for interpretation and, like a mirror for Aldridge’s works at large, hint with a touch of dark humour at the perfected façade of fashion’s glamour and the need for idealised beauty. Moreover, his works are characterized by vivid, fluorescent colours as well as the Hollywood lighting and perfectionist attention to detail. His works are part of renowned museum collections, such as the National Portrait Gallery in London, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the International Center of Photography in New York. – Woman, Contemporary, Photography, Fashion, People, Posing, Model, Erotic, Glamour, Soccer, Mum, Kids...
