Ryan McGinley
Lily (Woods)

2005

About the Item

Arguably the most renowned photographer of his generation, Ryan McGinley (b. 1977) was the youngest artist to ever have a solo show at the Whitney in 2003. Over the past two decades, McGinley has proven himself to be the successor to both Nan Goldin and Larry Clark with a unique documentary style that portrays the idealisms of a generation. McGinley's work captures the optimism, rebellion and hedonism experienced by friends and lovers in New York City. Artists such as the late Dash Snow and Dan Colen regularly make appearances in his images. While McGinley established his reputation with joyful images of youth, he has gradually evolved into one of the most sought-after portrait photographers. His work regularly appears in magazines including Vanity Fair and the New York Times magazine. Lily (Woods) is an image that is a perfect intersection of McGinley's most cherished elements; portraiture of youth, freely at play in nature. A nude young woman poses confidently within a dark forest, gazing directly back into the photographer- or viewers - eyes. Her enigmatic smile, evocative of the Mona Lisa, is both playful and daring. During this era, McGinley worked almost exclusively in a 40" x 30" print format. It is quite rare to find an image from the period in this more intimate size, yet still be a relatively small edition. This luminous portrait perfectly demonstrates Ryan McGinley's iconic mastery of portraiture and portrayal of youth.

  • B.F.F.
    By David LaChapelle
    Located in Toronto, Ontario
    In the early 1990s, David LaChapelle (b.1963) ushered in a new era of fashion photography. He created ground-breaking images with hyper-glossy, celebrity-obsessed, surrealism. LaChapelle's best works take elements of Americana and inflate them with drama, kitsch, or unapologetic sexuality. This daring sensibility made him one of the most inventive and radical fashion photographers of the 1990s. This work “B.F.F.” manifests some of the artists’ favorite ingredients: well-oiled, nearly-nude bodies, an affinity for fashion, and a celebration of material excess, all realized in a slick bright palette. Three women are pictured in various states of undress yet only one of them is a human being. The other two are artificial human-sized dolls, one lies vacant with its mask removed revealing its robotic interior. This unsettling image is a prime example of LaChapelle's fearless aesthetic. The odd details of this scene are fascinating; a nature poster, a can of Diet Coke...
