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. Helena Christensen is one of the most popular supermodels of the '80s and '90s, so it's no wonder Michel Comte photographed her several times. This image depicts the model in a black bikini with a strap tied around her waist. She is standing facing the camera. The simple gray background contrasts the model's tan skin. Her shaggy hair frames her face in a wild mess, adding a sense of effortless coolness to 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.
