Albert Watson Figurative Photography

Scottish, b. 1942

Albert Watson studied graphic design before becoming a photographer. His manipulation of contrast and superior sense of composition distinguish his portraits of celebrities and models. With an emphasis on the formal and sculptural properties of his sitters' bodies, Watson's images have not only appeared in numerous American and European fashion magazines but also in museum and gallery exhibitions.

In Watson’s famous nude photographs of Kate Moss taken on her 18th birthday in 1993, the model's spine pokes through the skin of her curved back, like the scales of a dinosaur, while the right side of her body is entirely shaded. In a 1989 portrait, Naomi Campbell's head is silhouetted against a grey surface, while her bare shoulders and the arch of her back are illuminated. In 2010, he was awarded the Royal Photographic Society's Centenary Medal and Honorary Fellowship.

King Casey, NYC - b&w Portrait of an Ape with crown, Fine Art Photography, 1992

Located in Vienna, AT
Black and white Portrait of a Chimpanzee with a crown, photographed by Albert Watson in 1992. All prints are limited edition. Available in two 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 Monkey Portraits from the early 90s are one-of-a-kind icons. 'King Cazey' depicts a Chimpanzee with its arms crossed in front of its chest. The Monkey is looking somewhere beyond the camera with a challenging, almost mocking gaze. Eyecatching is the crown on the monkey's head. It is modeled after the Edwardian crown, the oldest English crown, which is still used today for the coronation of British monarchs. 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 more than 100 Vogue covers over the years. 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. Mick Jagger, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, or David Bowie – Watson has captured the Who’s Who. No matter the genre, landscape, portraiture...

By Fernando Natalici
Located in NEW YORK, NY
Bruce Springsteen Photograph: Bruce at The Bottom Line NYC, 1975 by Fernando Natalici: A rare, historic photo of Bruce Springsteen at the tender age of 25 captured at The Bottom Line New York, 1975, by celebrated underground photographer, Fernando Natalici. Bruce and The East Street Band's 1975 shows at The Bottom Line were cited by Rolling Stone in 2004 as among the “50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock & Roll". Medium: Digital C print. Sharp black colors; nice overall print quality. Dimensions: 11 x 14 inches (may contain a small white border at the edges). Hand signed on the verso from a limited edition of 45. Excellent condition.

Springsteen was weeks away from releasing his third album, Born to Run, and his label, Columbia, invited more than 1,000 industry insiders to see what fans of the E Street Band's live shows had long known. As guitarist Steven Van...
