Bailey: Photographs
The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present selected photographs by David Bailey. This exhibition includes some of Bailey鈥檚 signature images of luminaries of fashion, music, and fine art. In portraits and little-known 鈥渢orn鈥 prints, he captures subjects including Jane Birkin, Michael Caine, David Hockney, Helmut Newton, Jean Shrimpton, and Mick Jagger.
Bailey鈥檚 bold and iconoclastic style has made him one of the world鈥檚 most renowned living portrait photographers and earned him as much fame as his subjects. Discarding the rigid rules of a previous generation of portrait and fashion photographers, he channeled and immortalized the energies of London in the 1960s and beyond. Self-taught, his distinctive style comprises stark white backgrounds, uncompromising crops, and striking, seemingly spontaneous poses. From the beginning of his career, which now spans more than six decades, his arresting yet spare portraits and fashion images have conveyed a radical sense of youth and sexuality, often typifying the look of the times.
