In UFO (Unified Fashion Objectives), Albert Watson shows a collection of fashion photographs from 40 years as one of the world's leading artists in the field.
The show includes the portrait Kate Moss in Torn Veil, Marrakech, 1993 and the fashion shot Gisella, Paris, 1990, shot in the Jardin des Tuileries. The clothes of designers such as Prada, Chanel, Armani, Valentino, Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto are featured on models in Watson's graphic style in a series of limited-edition, black and white prints.
These images also offer a preview of Watson's upcoming book UFO, to be published in fall 2010 by PQ Blackwell.
Watson has photographed more than 200 covers of Vogue magazine worldwide during his career, and also worked for many years for other top fashion magazines, such as Harper's Bazaar, Elle and Mademoiselle. He also photographed the collections in Paris and Milan for 25 years.
Albert Watson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and immigrated to the United States in 1970. He has been based in New York since 1977.
