January 22, 200916 yr Anyone else see this little nugget? Weird Beauty: Fashion Photography Now On view from January 16, through May 3, 2009 Images by more than forty of the most innovative photographers working in the fashion industry today will be on view in Weird Beauty: Fashion Photography Now, at the International Center of Photography (1133 Avenue of the Americas at 43rd Street) from January 16 through May 3, 2009. To highlight the original context of these photographs, this exhibition will feature hundreds of tear sheets, along with approximately twenty original photographic prints, and online media. The inclusion of such a variety of presentational formats will serve to illustrate the diversity that is characteristic of current fashion imagery. Although the ultimate purpose of the fashion photograph is to promote high-end style and beauty products, the resulting works often emerge as some of the most imaginative and multifaceted images currently being produced. Assisted by a team of stylists and editors, the photographer carefully selects the components of each story-often drawing on influences from art history, literature, digital media, youth culture, history, and current events. Evidence of these sources can be seen in local and international publications alike, adjusted to relate to the specific location, age, or gender of the target audience. Weird Beauty will present photographs derived from both widely recognized and lesser known magazines, including: 10 (UK), Another (UK), Doingbird (AU), Kid's Wear (DE), New York Times T Magazine (US), Numéro (FR), Pop (UK), Purple Fashion (FR), V (US), Vogue (FR/IT/US), W (US), and others. Participating Photographers: Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Miles Aldridge, John Baldessari, Coppi Barbieri, Laurie Bartley, Richard Burbridge, Jessica Craig-Martin, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Marcus Gaab, Nan Goldin, Mikael Jansson, Krisanne Johnson, Greg Kadel, Steven Klein, Nick Knight, Karl Lagerfeld, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Peter Lindbergh, Craig McDean, Alasdair McLellan, Steven Meisel, Sarah Moon, Günter Parth, Richard Prince, Terry Richardson, Paolo Roversi, Lise Sarfati, Collier Schorr, Cindy Sherman, David Sims, Hedi Slimane, Mario Sorrenti, Sølve Sundsbø, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Michael Thompson, Deborah Turbeville, Magnus Unnar, Sara VanDerBeek, Matthias Vriens, Tim Walker and Bruce Weber.
