About the Item

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. Mike Tyson is one of the most famous Boxers in the World. At only twenty years old he was the youngest person ever to win the World Championship in his weight class. Michel Comte honors the Boxer in this Portrait Series. This image is a closeup of the Boxers face. A white Towel is placed over his head, pearls of sweat coat his face and his hands are clasped together in a praying gesture. Tyson seems deep in thought, the soft black and white grading leaving his peaceful face to be the focal point of the image. The saturated colors of the broiling desert against the piercing blue of the clear sky or the cool palette of an intimate black-and-white portrait, Michel Comte can do it all. The Swiss star photographer has made his mark on fashion and celebrity photography since his first international advertising campaign for Karl Lagerfeld in 1979. Comte’s oeuvre truly is the work of a homme modern – capturing the most celebrated figures of the century, from boxers to supermodels, such as Carla Bruni or Helena Christensen. His portraits, nudes, or fashion campaigns always come exceptionally close to his subjects and create an intimate setting for the viewer.

    All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist/estate. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Daring poses, red lips, crooked smiles along with sex appeal and a certain je-ne-sais-quoi characterize the photographic oeuvre of the late Roxanne Lowit. Uninterested in glossy façades, the star photographer captures the unseen without being voyeuristic. Catapulting us straight back into a decade of excess and ecstasy, her unfiltered lens into the 90s reveals more than ever before. Eternalising enfant terribles of the art circus...
