What makes Albert Watson one of the world’s most esteemed photographers, lauded by peers, critics, and collectors? Is it his unparalleled portfolio of celebrity portraits? His breathtaking landscapes? Or his sensual nudes, still lifes, and celebrated fashion shoots?
KAOS presents a kaleidoscopic overview of Watson’s career to the present day, highlighting the extraordinary variety of subjects, objects, people, and places the photographer has encountered over the years. A dynamic and expertly curated array of images spanning 50 years of photography, we see celebrities, politicians, supermodels, and ordinary people; we traverse neon-lit cities; we encounter elaborate poses or erotic nudes; we wander through bright lights and back alleys; we immerse ourselves in extraordinary sunsets; and we breathe in the wild nature of the photographer’s homeland of Scotland.
Beginning with Watson’s groundbreaking portrait of Alfred Hitchcock for the 1973 Christmas issue of Harper’s Bazaar, each of his photographs resonates with an intense concentration of power, tension, and poetry. Ranging from the portrait of a Las Vegas dominatrix to Elvis’s gold lamé suit, from a chimpanzee to a street in China, Watson is a master at capturing appearances and exploring their myriad facets. Throughout his career, his portraits of celebrities such as David Bowie, Jay-Z, Kate Moss, Jennifer Lopez, Pamela Anderson, Mick Jagger, Jack Nicholson, Steve Jobs, and Andy Warhol reveal a singular interest in the person behind the iconic figure.
This extraordinary collection is enriched by a written account by former Christie’s photography director Philippe Garner, numerous quotes from Watson, and dozens of previously unpublished Polaroids, specially selected from the artist’s personal archive. The result is a true documentation of the “photographer’s photographer,” iridescent in his graphic, cinematic allure, and irresistible in his eclectic celebrity.
Albert Watson (b. 1942) born in Scotland, his striking images have appeared on more than a hundred covers of Vogue and have been featured in countless other publications, including Rolling Stone and Time. Watson has also photographed for hundreds of successful ad campaigns for companies such as Prada, Revlon, and Chanel. All the while, he has spent much of his time working on personal projects from Marrakech to Las Vegas. His breakthrough came in 1973, with a shot he still considers the most important of his career: Alfred Hitchcock holding a plucked goose.
