Baron Adolph de Meyer Exhibition
Robert Miller Gallery
This event has ended.
Robert Miller Gallery presents an important survey of vintage and modern photographs by Baron Adolph de Meyer. This will be the artist’s first solo exhibition worldwide since the International Center of Photography’s 1994 retrospective, A Singular Elegance: The Photographs of Baron Adolph de Meyer. The exhibition will include many images from De Meyer’s tenure as chief photographer at Vogue and Vanity Fair and from his years at Harper’s Bazaar, as well as exceptional, rarely seen, earlier photographs from the artist’s estate.
Baron Adolph de Meyer (1868-1946) is widely recognized as the founder of fashion photography. He began his career in London as an aristocratic amateur, making society portraits and still lifes in the Pictorialist style. His portraits brilliantly echoed the strategies employed by John Singer Sargent, transmuting aspects of his aesthetic into shimmering black and white or tonal images.
