About the Item

"David Bowie Profile" Photography 40 x 50 in Edition of 25 by Kate Garner Hahnemuhle fine art archival paper Signed numbered by the artist Come with COA issued by the artist Kate Garner: Seeker, Sage, and Preservationist of Identity A thoughtful selection of Kate Garner’s most pivotal work, showing the arc of identity, and her expression as one of the great masters of fine art photography today. In this collection of works, see rare and seldom viewed images of Kate Moss, Angelina Jolie, David Bowie, FKA Twigs, and more. Kate Garner evolved in the edgy pop-punk heyday of 1980’s London. By the time she was in her early 20s, she was well on her way to becoming one of the most enigmatic fine art photographers of our time. But it didn’t start that way. Until Kate was 19, she had spent most of her time in a tough mining town in the north of England. It was a practical place with practical people that studied practical vocations and couldn't afford to let themselves dream too much. Growing up, Kate had expected a similar existence, but it was never what she had envisioned. Like much of her class, she attended formal trade education at the local vocational college after graduating secondary school and spending a year hitch-hiking from England, through Europe, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan to India Garner came back from India and started to study commercial photography, and in Northern England, that meant--pots and pans. But, Kate knew she was different and would often take herself down into the thriving metropolis of London to see and experience the vibrant Mecca of arts and creatives. Her creative path took a pivotal point when her wanderings introduced her to the Blitz Kids. The art students and teenage squatters took her in, and It wasn’t long before she began shooting the streets with London’s party scene artisans and gender-bending pioneers. Working with John Galliano, Stephen Jones, Boy George, and later even David Bowie--Kate became fully immersed in the New Romantic era, alongside some of the most relevant artists of the time The group of vagabonds and visionaries became a creative powerhouse and Kate then started a band, Haysi Fantayzee, with two of the vagabonds, Jeremy Healy and Paul Caplin. Their first album went gold. “Even though Bowie had been part of that earlier New-Romantics era, these images were actually taken much later in 1995. That day I was shooting for 2 magazines, Raygun in LA and Esquire in London. I wasn’t a deep fan of Bowie’s before that day. I preferred the rawness of Iggy Pop, But I WAS a fan at the end of the day! He had bothered to find out about me, a rarity. He knew about the band I was in in the 80s and sang the songs to me at lunchtime. At 48 he was devastatingly beautiful. He let me hang him from ropes from the ceiling, wrap him in bandages, and put him inside a giant tunnel.”
