About the Item

Surreal Nude of a female Model sitting on the Saucer of a Giant Cup, photographed by Albert Watson in 1996 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 Carmen with a Cup is a surreal and imaginative photograph that transforms everyday objects into a striking and unconventional tableau. The image features a nude model seated on the saucer of an espresso cup, creating an arresting juxtaposition between the delicate, domestic object and the human form. The contrast between the model’s smooth, exposed skin and the porcelain of the cup enhances the surreal quality of the composition. Watson’s use of light and shadow accentuates the textures and contours of both the model and the cup, adding depth to the visual narrative. The photograph invites viewers to reconsider the scale and context of familiar items, merging the intimate with the whimsical in a provocative and artistic manner. Carmen with a Cup challenges conventional boundaries, celebrating the creativity and boldness of conceptual photography. From the iconic Hitchcock series to extravagant shoots for Iris van Herpen, the British star photographer is one of the founding fathers of fine art photography. Throughout the last four decades, Albert Watson has made a name for himself as one of the world’s most successful fashion and advertising photographers, creating over 100 Vogue covers. Mick Jagger, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, or David Bowie – Watson has captured the Who’s Who. No matter the genre, landscape, portraiture, nudes, or fashion, Watson is always curious and ready to venture into new subject worlds and has remained just as an essential creative force to this day. Watson 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.
