About the Item

NICK KNIGHT (*1958, Great Britain) Devon 1997 Hand-coated pigment print Image 152.4 x 101.6 cm (60 x 40 in.) Sheet 153 x 120.7 cm (60 1/4 x 47 1/2 in.) Frame 166 x 134.7 x 6.2 cm (60 1/4 x 47 1/2 in.) Edition of 12, plus 2 AP; Ed. 6/12 (from a sold out edition) Nick Knight is among the world’s most influential and visionary photographers. He has worked on a range of often controversial issues during his career – from racism, disability, ageism, and more recently fat-ism. He continually challenges conventional ideals of beauty. Knight made fashion history in November 1993 by adapting ring-flash photography to capture Linda Evangelista for a landmark, post-grunge cover of British Vogue. Since then, his work has graced no fewer than 36 covers. He has shot advertising campaigns for Jil Sander, Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein, Yves Saint Laurent, Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen and Christian Dior to name a few. He has also shot record covers for David Bowie, Paul Weller, George Michael and Massive Attack. Knight’s work has been exhibited at institutions such as the Victoria & Albert Museum, Saatchi Gallery, The Photographers’ Gallery, the Hayward Gallery and recently the Tate Modern. Knight has also turned his hand to directing music videos - Pagean Poetry by Björk in 2001 being his first and, most recently, Kanye West’s Bound 2. He directed the video for Lady Gaga’s hit single Born This Way in 2011. Both the song and the video aimed to empower and show solidarity within minority groups, a common theme in Knight’s work. In 1997 Knight took this photograph of model Devon Aoki in Alexander McQueen for the Visionaire magazine. It is possibly one of the most striking images to exist of the model. Aoki’s alienesque features perfectly complement the structured Alexander McQueen top she is wearing, and with one misty eye and petals pouring from the slash in her forehead, she looks fascinating and disturbing at the same time. The cult model Devon Aoki is one of the most recognizable alternative faces of the 90s. Born in 1982, the half-American, half-Japanese beauty was discovered at a concert in New York aged 13 and signed to an agency a few years later. – Model, Fashion, Asia, Portrait, Photograhpy, 90s, pink
