CLASSY & FABULOUS
Douglas Kirkland: "An Evening with Marilyn" & "Coco Chanel - Three Weeks"
The great celebrities in film, show, and music business – American photographer Douglas Kirkland (*1934) had most of them in front of his camera: Sting, Mick Jagger, John Lennon, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Brigitte Bardot, Marlene Dietrich, Romy Schneider, to name a few, but also Marilyn Monroe and Coco Chanel.
A year later, in 1962, Kirkland worked for "Look" in Paris. For three weeks, he accompanied Coco Chanel, followed her with his camera as she left her suite at the Ritz, photographed her in her apartment, at Studio 31 in the Rue Cambon and during a fashion show. His series presents the 79-year-old fashion icon at work: amused, flirtatious, professional, friendly, young, full of energy.
Douglas Kirkland travelled to Greece, Lebanon and Japan. He worked as a set photographer on more than 100 film productions. The fact that Kirkland received numerous awards throughout his long career seem almost self-evident. Today, the photographer who will celebrate his 85th birthday just one month before the exhibitions opens, lives in Los Angeles.
