Among the principal highlights are a young Kate Moss on the brink of an epic career and an unposed shot of feminist Cameron Diaz in the early Nineties.

TONI MENEGUZZO: LARGE-FORMAT POLAROIDS IN THE 80s AND 90s

Toni Meneguzzo is the visionary Arist who brought large-format Polaroid to the forefront of editorial and fashion campaigns.
Over the years, he has developed specific techniques which apply to his use of Polaroid in the 20×25 format that made him a forerunner in the use of this medium, followed later by many others. His large format Polaroid photographs are pervaded by an evanescent atmosphere of suspended time where sensuality is all about small gestures and the soft shapes of his elegant women: he creates enigmatic and silent forms, far removed from the images proposed by the fashion world in which he was working. The Polaroids represent the true hallmark of the artist’s work and career, showcasing his important contribution to fashion photography. Thanks to a surprisingly unique viewpoint – he is in fact unanimously regarded as being an elegant and original interpreter of great icons of beauty and culture – from the models of advertising campaigns for some of the most famous brands of the eighties and nineties to the ethereal faces of the Japanese women he met during his extensive travels across Asia, through to the ultra-elegant ikebana.

29 ARTS IN PROGRESS is delighted to exhibit again at Photo London 2023 featuring unconventional colour works by Italian master of fashion photography Gian Paolo Barbieri, alongside works of French photographer Michel Haddi, eclectic Italian photographer Toni Meneguzzo, and British photographer Rankin.

GIAN PAOLO BARBIERI: RARE COLOUR PRINTS
One of the principal highlights of the gallery’s presentation for this edition is a collection of unseen colour photographs by Gian Paolo Barbieri, winner of the 2018 Lucie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Fashion.
Using colour, Barbieri recounts his own personal and ironic interpretation of fashion and feminine beauty.
It is a style of photography that is ironic yet sophisticated, both rare and provocative, packed with references to art history, eclectic outdoor sets in exotic locations, and allusions to the history of Cinema.

This shot was taken for a Vivienne Westwood campaign in 1998 in which Barbieri was inspired by the paintings of Matisse.
The set was specifically created and hand painted by the artist, who, applying Vaseline to the lens, achieved the effect of an oil painting.
