After several years in a private collection, many of the greatest and most sought after works by David LaChapelle are being deaccessioned and are now available to collectors. Many of these works have not been available for several years and have never appeared at auction.
Available individually, among this incredible collection of exclusive images are Lil' Kim- Blow Up Doll, Amanda Lepore- Addicted to Diamonds, Jesus is my Homeboy and The Last Supper. More recent worksinclude Cathedral, Priest and Museum. Only one of each image is available from these sold out editions.
Described as "The Fellini of photography" (New York Magazine), David LaChapelle holds a rightful place as one of the most high profile, spectacular and respected photographers of the day. Working mainly in the field of fashion and celebrity, countless VIPs have gone before his hallowed lens, including Britney Spears, Madonna, Naomi Campbell and Paris Hilton, while magazines Vogue Italia, Vanity Fair and The Face have used his fantasy imagery and viewer eye candy on their pages for the last decade.
Born in Connecticut in 1969, he attended the North Carolina School of Arts before heading to New York City, a move that would result in a chance encounter with legendary pop icon Andy Warhol and a job as a photographer at Interview magazine. This in turn provided the springboard and exposure that allowed LaChapelle to become a household name through his dynamic and challenging photo features for leading publications, work that has seen him ranked among the top ten Most Important People in Photography in the world by American Photo magazine.
