Then and Now. More than 100 works of the best-known artists and a selection of outstanding fashion
The self-curated exhibition shows more than 100 works of the best-known artists and a selection of outstanding fashion, portrait and nude photography of the most famous supermodels of the last few decades. According to Thomas P. Campbell, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a worldwide successful model needs to be able to inspire the designer and to represent his intention. In this way a model can obtain a special iconic status and her face can become an own brand. In art, the motif of a supermodel has developed into an international scheduled genre which brings up maximum prices in auctions. The CWC Gallery appreciates this development with the group exhibition "Supermodels - Then and Now" and presents outstanding works of photographic history from the extensive collection of Camera Work AG and partly never seen works of famous photo artists. An exclusive selection of outstanding portraits of photo art of over 5 decades and a testament to the influence of supermodels on photo art.
