About the Item
Artist: Horst P. Horst (1906-1999)
Title: Coco Chanel, Paris, 1937
Year: 1937
Medium: Silver Gelatin Print
Size: 14 x 11 inches
Condition: Excellent
Inscription: Signed, titled, dated and annotated in pencil on the verso.
Notes: This portrait was created when Chanel was at the height of her power. It reveals a gentleness of lighting and a tenderness of expression. Horst’s image lacks her typical stolid appearance and reveals an intimate glimpse of a Chanel who is perhaps not completely sure of herself. She is comfortably embraced by the contours of the chair lending an air of relaxation and refinement with the delicate outline of her profile set against the satin upholstery. Horst sourced the Louis XVI-style chair inspired by a similar item he had seen in Chanel’s apartment at the Ritz. Simply dressed, but with her trademark bold jewelry, she holds her cigarette in a characteristically masculine way with a cropped haircut. Chanel was the epitome of modernity influencing women the world over and in Horst’s portrait, he reveals an intimate yet refined vision of the legend.
HORST P. HORST (1906-1999) One of the towering figures of 20th century fashion photography. Best known for his work with Vogue—who called him “photography’s alchemist”—Horst rose to prominence in Paris in the interwar years, publishing his first work with the magazine in 1931. In the decades that followed, Horst’s experimentations with radical composition, nudity, double exposures, and other avant-garde techniques would produce some of the most iconic fashion images ever, like Mainbocher Corset and Lisa with Harp (both 1939). As The New York Times once described, “Horst tamed the avant-garde to serve fashion.” Though associated most closely with fashion photography, Horst captured portraits of many of the 20th century’s brightest luminaries, dabbling with influences as far-ranging as Surrealism and Romanticism. “I like taking photographs, because I like life,” he once said. “And I love photographing people best of all.

- Jean-Michel Basquiat photograph by Nick Taylor of GrayBy Nicholas TaylorLocated in NEW YORK, NYRare 1979 Photograph of Jean Michel Basquiat This rare Basquiat photograph was taken from Nicholas Taylor’s well-documented portfolio exploring his friendship with Jean-Michel Basquiat - a friendship which began when both collaborated on the historic New York No Wave band, “GRAY” in the late 1970s; before the two briefly lived together in the East Village. Selections from Taylor's portfolio were most notably exhibited as part of the Basquiat retrospective at London's Barbican in 2017 and have been featured in numerous noteworthy publications on Basquiat. Silver Gelatin Print. 1979. 11 x 14 inches Hand singed and numbered in the margins from an edition of 5 A/P's. Very good overall vintage condition, with the exception of some minor signs of handling. Provenance: Obtained directly from artist Lot 180 is an authorized dealer rep of Nicholas Taylor Whilst Basquiat often provided glimpses into his conflicted character through his own art, Taylor’s photograph offers an intimate, and perhaps more honest, portrait from the outside. The clever exploration of light and dark reveals the dichotomies that divided the artist; both his fragile and playful, tender and brazen sides are unveiled. A soft glow is cast across Basquiat’s face, communicating a tenderness and affection that only a close friend could capture. About Nicholas Taylor Nicholas Taylor (American, b. 1953) is a renowned photographer and musician. Taylor moved to New York in 1977 to pursue a career as a photographer and it was through the vibrant New York art scene that he came to know the young artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat. It was, in fact, his intimate portfolio of photographs documenting his friendship with Basquiat that rocketed Taylor to fame. The two would collaborate in the seminal No Wave band “Gray” and live together in the East Village, before Taylor launched a successful career as a DJ famous for track-looping. His track “Suicide Mode” would later be used in the soundtrack for Julian Schnabel’s 1996 film “Basquiat." Taylor has been directly referenced in at least two works by Basquiat and is responsible for first introducing the artist to Madonna before the two dated. Taylor's photographs of Basquiat were recently exhibited at London's Barbican and Frankfurt's Schirn Kunsthalle as part of the landmark Basquiat: Boom for Real exhibition; with Gray (Michael Holman & Nick...Category
