Danziger Projects is pleased to announce a show celebrating Kate Moss and featuring the Kate Moss Portfolio and additional photographs of Moss by Gene Lemuel, Glen Luchford, Mary McCartney, Herb Ritts, and Peter Blake.

Chuck Close Annie Leibovitz Glen Luchford Mert & Marcus Terry Richardson David Sims Mario Sorrenti Juergen Teller Mario Testino Inez Van Lamsweerde + Vinoodh Matadin Bruce Weber

Unlike any model in the history of fashion photography, Kate Moss has proved to be a unique subject blurring the boundaries between fashion photography and contemporary art. In a career that has lasted 23 years to date, it can be said that Moss’s particular beauty and singular figure have made her more of a muse than a supermodel. No matter what she is wearing (or not wearing) Moss invariably becomes the subject of the photograph, supercharging the image and inspiring photographers to do their best. Unselfconscious and unapologetic, Moss’s persona and sensuality have changed notions of beauty and influenced the culture at large.

In addition to the portfolio photographs, the gallery will be showing several additional groups of images – unseen photographs of Moss taken in 1988 (the year before her career was launched in The FACE) by Gene Lemuel; Glen Luchford’s pictures of Kate in Times Square on her first trip to New York; rarely seen pictures by Mary McCartney and Herb Ritts; and a recent series of silkscreens by British artist Peter Blake which place Moss in the pantheon of iconic pop-cultural figures.
