2000

About the Item

A Womans Leg in black Heel and Latex Tights stepping on an old Stovetop, photographed by Albert Watson. 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. Albert Watson’s photograph "Heel on Stovetop", part of his series "Strip Search", is a striking fusion of sensuality, minimalism, and surrealism. The image features a single leg clad in a sleek latex stocking and stiletto heel, precariously placed atop a vintage stovetop burner. This juxtaposition of the human form, high fashion, and an everyday kitchen appliance creates an immediate sense of tension and contradiction. The gleaming textures of the latex and the polished stove elements emphasize a tactile quality, while the high heel, an icon of femininity and allure, introduces a seductive yet dangerous energy. The photograph explores the interplay between domesticity, sexuality, and power, using a sparse, almost clinical setting to heighten the drama. Watson’s careful attention to composition and contrast in this piece blurs the lines between object and symbol, turning an ordinary household space into a stage for high-art fashion surrealism. This Leg belongs to Breaunna Rizzuto, a repeating subject in Watson's Las Vegas Project. The Work is also featured in Watson's book 'Kaos' published by Taschen in 2017. Albert Watson is a veteran of international fine art-, fashion- and commercial photography, a non-conformist intellectual, and an uncompromising creative force. The multitalented photographer, director, and graphic designer has developed an iconic style of his own and created a luminous artistic body of work in both technical and aesthetic terms. He has had retrospective exhibitions at renowned museums and art institutions, such as the Kunsthaus Wien, Vienna, The Museum of Modern Art, Milan, The Photography Museum, Antwerp, and the NWR forum in Duesseldorf. His images are in the private collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Portrait Gallery in London.
