David LaChapelle Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1963 -

The American photographer was born in Fairfield in the State of Connecticut. A photo he took from his mother on vacation when he was six years old, awakened his fascination for photography. He studied at the North Carolina School of the Arts and in New York at the Arts Student League and the School of Visual Arts. Andy Warhol offered him his first professional job: Taking Photographs for his 'Interview Magazine'. From 1987 on LaChapelle was in demand as photographer for magazines such as Vanity Fair, Vogue and Rolling Stone. Many celebrities were photographed by him. In 2006 LaChapelle decided to reduce his commercial activity and to focus again more on fine-art works. His works have been shown in many international exhibitions and honored with awards and prizes.

    AMENDMENT: Please note the dimensions of the sheet are 150 x 114cm, and not as previously stated. David LaChapelle, American b.1963- Archangel Michael: And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer, Hawaii 7/23/09; laminated c-print on aluminium composite, from the limited edition of 3, signed and numbered AP 1/2, sheet: 150 x 114cm, (framed) Note: Following Michael Jackson’s death in 2009, esteemed fashion and fine art photographer David Lachapelle released this staged photograph at Lachapelle’s estate in Hawaii. This powerful image was used as the cover of the Sunday Times in September of that year and has since been featured in numerous media publications and appeared in galleries & exhibitions globally since. Known for his controversial art and fashion photography, the piece is a part of Lachapelle’s 2009 “American Jesus” series on Michael Jackson. American photographer and video artist David LaChapelle is renowned for his hyper realistic, highly saturated, and often controversial editorial portraits of celebrities. Working alongside Andy Warhol for many years his style is unique. Over the course of his prolific career, he’s shot many of pop culture’s most recognizable faces—from Nicki Minaj, Britney Spears, and Madonna to Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson—in a humorous style that combines elements of Surrealism and Pop art. In addition to shooting for publications such as Rolling Stone and Interview, LaChapelle has maintained a fine-art photography practice. Much of his work has explored themes of mortality and transcendence, with overt references to art history and religious iconography. He has featured in shows at the Victoria & Albert museum London, the Tel Aviv art museum, the Musee d'Orsay Paris, and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., among other institutions. At auction, LaChapelle’s photographs have sold for six-figure prices.

    David Lachapelle (b.1963)

    Est: £2,000 - £3,000

    David Lachapelle (b.1963) COMMERCIAL PHOTO SHOOT, NEW YORK, 1997. A large collection of glossy c-prints and contact sheets, depicting a series of studio sessions undertaken in a 1997 commission for a New York-based cosmetic surgeon. Comprising: 28 glossy C-prints on Agfa paper, each measuring 25 x 20cm; 24 glossy C-prints on Agfa paper, each measuring 35.5 x 27.5cm; 48 colour contact sheets measuring 30.5 x 25cm, many with wax crayon selection indications made by the photographer, which match the prints in this collection; many sheets with Lachapelle's studio label affixed verso. Together with a series of 9 inkjet print proofs for the resulting ad campaign using a small number of photographs in this collection. Housed together in the original Agfa paper box, Lachapelle's studio label affixed to upper cover, overall measuring 40 x 30cm [worn]. A fascinating look into the early working practices of renowned fashion photographer David Lachapelle, at a time when he shaping his outrageous and hyper-realistic shooting style. In the present collection, commissioned by a New York cosmetic surgeon, we see glimpses of the 'kitsch pop' that would come to define his images -- bold colours and backgrounds, enthusiastic models, and hints of the provocative -- while still keeping in mind the desires of the client [who also features in a smalls selection of head shots].
