Roxanne Lowit is presenting her latest exhibition, ‘Early Art and Fashion Portrait Photography,’ at the Kaune Posnik Spohr Gallery in Cologne, Germany.
Early in her career Roxanne, the New York photographer, established a new genre of photography. Rather than trailing the other photographers to capture the official glamour of the fashion runway, Roxanne preferred the energy, action and artistry of the backstage scene. In this setting she was always able to capture calm, expressive, iconic images of the designers, models and fashions.
This carried through to her portraits of celebrities and party-goers at famed New York and Paris night clubs: Andy Warhol, Halston, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kate Moss, Yves St. Laurent, John Galliano, Robert Mapplethorpe… Roxanne captures and presents them in the public act of being themselves — intimate and outgoing in the same instant.
