Hardcover. Zustand: vg to fine. Limited First edition. Folio. 152pp. Original photo-illustrated glossy paper covered boards. Book housed in its illustrated slipcase designed by Japanese graphic artist Tadanori Yokoo. Pictorial endpapers. Color frontispiece. This striking and colorful collection of 151 cutting-edge photographs blend fifties kitsch and nineties cyberculture, as they capture the worlds of fashion, advertising, Hollywood, and music. "In the afterword to this dizzying collection of his photographs, fashion and celebrity photographer LaChapelle says: "If there's an exhibitionist left who wants his or her picture taken, I'll be there." His pictures of the famous and not-so-famous in outrageous poses and situations bear this out. Following Truman Capote's dictum that "good taste is the death of art," he shoots Faye Dunaway flat on her back on top of a limousine, Tom Jones hanging off a truck in a pink cat suit, a porn star in Times Square on an overstuffed chair surrounded by balloons, naked people piled up in Plexiglas boxes and other bizarre scenes, all in garish colors. Like children trashing a grownups' party, the models smash the furniture, scatter the debris and smear everyone with Reddi Whip and cake frosting, giggling all the while, creating swirls of eye candy that will delight those who cherish style and equate surface and substance" (Publishers Weekly). Closed tear at upper left corner of box cover. Box in overall very good, binding and interior in fine condition.

Exemplar. - Book-Design: Tadanori Yokoo. - "His photographs confront our visual taste and challenge our ideas of celebrity, all the while taking us on a roller coaster ride through his hyper-sensationalized galaxy. Lil' Kim becomes the ultimate status symbol, tattooed in the Louis Vuitton pattern. Madonna rises from pink waters as a mystical dragon princess. Pamela Anderson hatches out of an egg; and Alexander McQueen burns down the castle dressed as the Queen of Hearts. David LaChapelle's uncompromising originality is legendary in the worlds of fashion, film, and advertising. His images, both bizarre and gorgeous, have appeared on and in between the covers of Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Vibe and more. La Chapelle Land is fun park America gone surrealistically wrong but in such an attractive way" (Edition Stemmle). - "Lachapelle ist ein Interpret der Zeiten, er durchläuft mit bilderstürmerischer Gewalt das Gebiet der Fotografie, der Musik, des Kinos, der künstlerischen Moden, der Kultur des Pop und des Videoclips, er dekliniert auf jede erdenkliche Weise die Substantive durch, mit denen wir unsere Weigerung ausdrücken, die Dinge so zu akzeptieren, wie sie sind: Ironie, Sarkasmus, Spott, Grenzüberschreitung, Neuinterpretation. . Er hat wenig gemein mit der Tradition einer visionären Fotografie, lieber zieht er alle Register des Traums und richtet sich ein in einer Welt aus Dadaismus, Surrealismus, Kitsch und Cyberspace, ja sogar bloße politisch inkorrekte Geschmacklosigkeiten macht er sich zunutze" (G. Calvenzi in Koetzle). - Tadellos. Sprache: englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Lachapelle, David (illustrator). Neuware - Ein großes Werk und Langzeitprojekt ist vollendet: TASCHEN freut sich, mit Good News und Lost + Found die auf fünf Bände angelegte David-LaChapelle-Anthologie komplettieren zu können, die mit LaChapelle Land (1996) begann und mit Hotel LaChapelle (1999) und Heaven to Hell (2006) fortgesetzt wurde. Beide Bände zeigen Hunderte von Arbeiten des Künstlers, der wie kein anderer Zitate aus Religion, Porno, Kunst- und Popgeschichte zu einer unverwechselbaren, hochartifiziellen Ästhetik amalgamiert und in seinen surrealen Inszenierungen und grellbunten, opulenten Arrangements stets auch Themen wie Konsum- und Körperfetischismus, Genderfragen und Spiritualität verhandelt.Good News steht eindeutig im Zeichen des Sakralen, von frühen Aufnahmen nackter Engel und Liebender aus dem New York der 1980er bis zu ganz aktuellen Bildern, auf denen sich LaChapelles Refugium auf Hawaii in einen trippigen Garten Eden und Celebrities in Heilige verwandeln. Ebenfalls zu sehen: Beispiele aus anderen jüngeren Werkgruppen wie Earth Laughs In Flowers oder Awakened, die die vielen Facetten seiner Kunst widerspiegeln.In Good News sind zu sehen: frühe Akte aus den 1980ern in NYC, Pamela Anderson, Lana Del Rey, Sharon Gault, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Paris Jackson, David LaChapelle, Amanda Lepore, Miriam Makeba, Sergei Polunin, Tupac Shakur, Elizabeth Taylor und viele andere .Lost + Found und Good News werden einzeln verkauft.
Buch. Zustand: Neu. Lachapelle, David (illustrator). Neuware - TASCHEN freut sich, Lost + Found und Good News von Bilderstürmer und Ausnahmefotograf David LaChapelle präsentieren zu dürfen. Die Bücher bilden den vierten und fünften Teil seiner fünfbändigen Anthologie, die mit LaChapelle Land (1996) begann und kurz darauf mit Hotel LaChapelle (1999) und später mit Heaven to Hell (2006) fortgesetzt wurde. Ein großer Teil der Werke entstand nach der Auszeit, die sich LaChapelle 2006 in einer von ihm gekauften ehemaligen Nudistenkolonie auf Hawaii nahm. Celebrities waren danach immer noch seine Peergroup und die In-Crowd der place to be, aber statt der Titelseiten von Interview, Vanity Fair, i-D oder Vogue rückten nach seiner künstlerischen Rekalibrierung nun Galerien und Museen in den Fokus. Es entstanden Werkgruppen wie Landscapes, in der er aus Pappe und Abfall gebaute Modelle von Industrieanlagen in leuchtende, acidfarbene Glitzerwelten verwandelte, Earth Laughs In Flowers, in der sich Handys, Zigarettenkippen und zerknüllte Plastikflaschen in altmeisterlichen Blumenstillleben verstecken, oder Gas, die gespenstisch illuminierte Tankstellen in gründunklen Dschungeln aufglühen lässt. Aber keine Angst, die Promidichte ist in Lost + Found überaus beeindruckend, und ja, Miley Cyrus ist nackt.In Lost + Found sind zu sehen: Pamela Anderson, Julian Assange, Isabella Blow, David Bowie, Naomi Campbell, Hillary Clinton, Frances Bean Cobain, Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga, Sharon Gault, Daphne Guinness, Whitney Houston, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Bruce Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Dwayne Johnson, Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Eartha Kitt, David LaChapelle, Amanda Lepore, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Sergei Polunin, Keith Richards, Rihanna, Chris Rock, Amber Rose, Britney Spears, Uma Thurman, Andy Warhol, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Amy Winehouse und viele andere .Lost + Found und Good News werden einzeln verkauft.

"Q: Where you born a boy or a girl? A: I was born a baby" (Introduction by Ariel Rosenbloom). With a forewprd by Gery Keszler, Life Ball Organizer. David LaChapelle (born March 11, 1963 is an American photographer, music video director and film director. He is best known for his work in fashion, photography, which often references art history and sometimes conveys social messages. His photographic style has been described as "hyper-real and slyly subversive" and as "kitsch pop surrealism". Once called the Fellini of photography, LaChapelle has worked for international publications and has had his work exhibited in commercial galleries and institutions around the world. David LaChapelle was born in Hartford, Connecticut to Philip and Helga LaChapelle; he has a sister Sonja and a brother Philip. His mother was a refugee from Lithuania who arrived at Ellis Island in the early 1960s. His family lived in Hartford until he was 9 years old. He has said to have loved the public schools in Connecticut and thrived in their art program as a child and teenager, although he struggled with bullying growing up. - He and his family moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, where they lived until he was 14 years old, before returning north to Fairfield, Connecticut. He was bullied in his North Carolina school for his sexuality. When he was 15 years old, he ran away from home to become a busboy at Studio 54 in New York City. Eventually he returned to North Carolina to enroll in the North Carolina School of the Arts. His first photograph was of his mother Helga on a family vacation in Puerto Rico. LaChapelle credits his mother for influencing his art direction in the way she set up scenes for family photos in his youth. LaChapelle was affiliated in the 1980s with 303 Gallery which also exhibited artists such as Doug Aitken. After people from Interview magazine saw his work exhibited, LaChapelle was offered work with the magazine. When LaChapelle was 17 years old, he met Andy Warhol, who hired him as a photographer for Interview while he was still in high school. Warhol reportedly told LaChapelle "Do whatever you want. Just make sure everybody looks good." LaChapelle's images subsequently appeared on the covers and pages of magazines such as Details, GQ, i-D, The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, The Face, Vanity Fair, Vogue Italia, and Vogue Paris. LaChapelle's work has been called "meticulously created in a high-gloss, color-popping, hyper-realistic style", and his photos are known to, "crackle with subversive or at least hilarious ideas, rude energy and laughter. They are full of juicy life." In 1995 David LaChapelle shot the famous 'kissing sailors' advertisement for Diesel. It was staged at the peace celebration of World War II and became one of the first public advertisements showing a gay or lesbian couple kissing.[18] Much of its controversy was due it being published at the height of the don't ask, don't tell debates in United States, which had led to the U.S. government to ban openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual persons from military service. In a long article published by frieze in 1996, the advertisement was credited for its "overarching tone of heavy-handed humor and sarcasm". In September 2011 when the don't ask, don't tell law was finally removed by President Barack Obama, Renzo Rosso, the founder and president of Diesel, who originally had approved and pushed for the advertisement, said "16 years ago people wouldn't stop complaining about this ad. Now it's finally accepted legally." Awards 1995: "Best New Photographer of the Year" by French Photo and American Photo magazines 1996: "Photographer of the Year Award" at the VH-1 Fashion Awards "Applied Photography of the Year Award" from The International Center of Photography 1997: Best book Design 1998: Best "Cutting Edge Essay" and "Style Photography" at Life magazine's Alfred Eisenstadt Awards for Magazine Photography 1999: Honored in the "Cover of the Year" 2000: Won "Best Video" for Moby's "Nature Blues" at the MTV Europe Music Award. - Themes in LaChapelle's art photography, which he has developed in his Maui home, include salvation, redemption, paradise, and consumerism. It is clear that LaChapelle's moving in this, "new direction highlights his interest and understanding of both contemporary practice and art history". - LaChapelle's images "both bizarre and gorgeous have forged a singular style that is unique, original, and perfectly unmistakeable." His photographs have been collected in a number of books. LaChapelle Land (1996) was selected as one of 101 "Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century" and is "highly valued by collectors". His second book, Hotel LaChapelle (1999), was described as a "garish, sexy, enchanting trip". Heaven to Hell (2006) featured "almost twice as many images as its predecessors", and "is an explosive compilation of new work by the visionary photographer." LaChapelle, Artists and Prostitutes (2006), a limited-edition, signed, numbered book contains 688 pages of photographs taken between 1985 and 2005. Artists and Prostitutes was published by Taschen and includes a photograph of the publisher Benedikt Taschen in a sadomasochism scene. LaChapelle has bipolar disorder, but as he feels drugs do not work for him, he is careful to monitor his mental health. In the mid-1980s, he lost his boyfriend of the time to AIDS. He relocated to London, where that city's counterculture proved enormously influential in forming his aesthetic. "I thought I'd seen it all. When I went to London, the level of creativity and insanity . they were on a whole other planet." He was particularly struck by that culture's insistence on originality, rather than copying. For him, Los Angeles had been "the literal opposite". While living i.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Verliebt in GiseleAnschauen macht glücklich - Gisele Bündchen, SupermodelDie Brasilianerin Gisele Bündchen wuchs in einfachen Verhältnissen auf dem Land auf und wurde zum erfolgreichsten Supermodel der Welt. Diese Buch zeigt die atemberaubendsten Glamourshots und zahlreiche private Aufnahmen aus ihrer 20-jährigen Karriere in der Fashion-Industrie.Gisele war gerade 18, als sie 1998 auf der Ready-to-Wear-'Rain'-Show von Alexander McQueen den Durchbruch schaffte. McQueen hatte 'The Body' wegen ihrer Fähigkeit ausgewählt, in himmelhohen Absätzen einen rutschigen Laufsteg abzuschreiten. Noch im selben Jahr landete sie auf dem Cover der britischen Vogue und wurde danach schnell zum begehrtesten Covergirl ihrer Generation. Im darauf folgenden Jahr fotografierte Steven Meisel sie für das Cover der amerikanischen Vogue. Ihre braungebrannte athletische Schönheit läutete als Kontrast zum Grunge der späten 90er 'die Rückkehr des sexy Models' ein. Seitdem erschien Gisele auf über 1000 Titelbildern rund um den Erdball, lief auf ca. 450 Fashion Shows und absolvierte multinationale Kampagnen für die größten Fashion- und Beauty-Brands dieser Welt.Dieses Buch mit über 300 Bildern wurde von Giovanni Bianco zusammengestellt und gestaltet. Von Irving Penns legendärem Aktfoto, unserem Coverbild, bis hin zu ikonischen Aufnahmen von Starfotografen wie David LaChapelle, Juergen Teller, Inez & Vinoodh, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott und Corinne Day ist dies ein einmaliges Porträt der Frau, die zusammen mit Pelé und Ayrton Senna der berühmteste Exportschlager Brasiliens und zugleich das bestbezahlte Model der Welt ist. Die elegante visuelle Kompilation wird ergänzt durch Beiträge von Giseles engsten Freunden und Angehörigen sowie führenden Persönlichkeiten der Modebranche.
