For five decades supermodels have been a great part of photographic art. They inspire artists . With their cooperation they create artwork which is a mirror of their time. 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 incarnate a brand. In art supermodels have developed into an international genre which brings up maximum prices in auctions.
The group exhibition “Supermodels – Then and Now” is an exclusive selection of groundbreaking portaits, nudes and fashion works from over five decades and an evidence of the influence of supermodels on photographic art. Among the exhibitied works there are world famous pieces of art from classic photography such as Mathilde on Eiffel Tower by Peter Lindbergh, popular works by Richard Avedon and selected photographies by artists like Irving Penn, Herb Ritts and Paolo Roversi.
