THUS SPOKE LACHAPELLE, RUDOLFINUM GALLERY,

December 7, 2011 – February 27, 2012

David LaChapelle’s premiere in Czech Republic and Slovakia was conceived as a complex retrospective exhibition covering three decades of photographer’s career in both commercial and fine art field.

The uniqueness of this occasion is underlined by the fact that it was possible to prepare this project directly with the artist and his team while choosing the best works from his studio. Exhibition curator, Otto M. Urban, showcased the work of David LaChapelle in several spheres, where each of the chapters emphasized one of the important issues of art the author was involved in and further developed. This was a unique opportunity for Czech audiences to become familiar with the live streams and trends of the contemporary American art scene in the work of an artist who stands at the center of attention.

“David LaChapelle is a one-of-a-kind artist on the contemporary photographic scene. His shots have an easily identifiable message; and express unrepeatable vision, limitless fantasy and imaginativeness of the author, who, from the first contact, takes the spectator for an adventurous ride between heaven and hell.”

PhD. Marián Pauer, curator of the exhibition LOST AND FOUND
