The White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton will host renowned Swiss photographer Markus Klinko in a private event on July 29, from 5 to 7 p.m. in conjunction with “Bowie, Beyoncé & Beyond,” an exhibition of Klinko’s work that is currently on view at the gallery.
Klinko, an award-winning international fashion and celebrity photographer and director, has worked with many iconic film, music and fashion stars. He shot the cover of Beyoncé’s “Dangerously in Love,” which celebrated its 20th anniversary in June, numerous intimate and striking portraits of David Bowie, and most recently, PAPER Magazine’s cover of rap sensation Ice Spice. These stars are the focus of Klinko’s portraits that are on display.
“These images truly represent a moment in time,” said Klinko, who performed as an international classical harp soloist and EMI Classics recording artist before taking up photography in 1994 when a hand injury ended his career. “It’s fascinating to see them transform from serving one purpose to resurfacing in other ways. Seeing stars such as Ice Spice and Billie Eilish move from the covers of magazines onto the walls of galleries within days is entirely unprecedented. I am proud to share these latest works with a fast-growing collector base.”
“Bowie, Beyoncé & Beyond” remains on view through August 6 at The White Room Gallery at 2415 Montauk Highway, Bridgehampton. For details, visit thewhiteroom.gallery.
