This classic image by Stephen Shore (American, b.1947) encapsulates the artist's zeal for the banal, and forces the viewer to relook and reconsider the everyday. As a pioneer of color photography and a master of the deadpan shot, Shore presaged a style that inspired much contemporary image-making. Vintage Photographs is live for bidding on artnet Auctions now through January 23, 2014. |

David LaChapelle
"Of all the photographers inventing surreal images, it is Mr. LaChapelle who has the potential to be the genre's Magritte."
-Richard Avedon, The New York Times
LaChapelle's iconic style is both gloriously bizarre and absolutely unique. His instantly recognizable oeuvre has expanded to include music videos, live theatrical events, and documentary filmmaking. LaChapelle is quite simply the only photographic artist currently working in the world today whose work transcends the context of the fashion and celebrity magazines it was originally made for. This world-class photographer has been enshrined by the notoriously discerning and fickle Contemporary Art intelligentsia, and continues to inspire and delight.
