The acclaimed White Room Gallery in Bridgehampton is to feature iconic pop culture works by renowned Swiss photographer Markus Klinko who is partnering with Rolls-Royce in a private event on
July 29th 5-7pm.
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 is celebrating its 20th anniversary this 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 will be on display.
“Rolls-Royce is an iconic brand that honors artistry and craftsmanship,” said Liz
Shafton, “We are proud to be part of the celebration and to feature the boundless potential of our Ghost vehicles. With a pristine blank canvas for personalization, Ghost offers unparalleled quality, a truly engaging drive, and bottomless V12 thrust. We look forward to providing the opportunity to explore this charismatic model with guests and during the exhibit.”
Klinko will also display his artistic collaboration with Emerald Laser and Erchonia, a
global leader in manufacturing and developing low-level laser therapy technology. This project, titled “The Angel Factory,” explores the aesthetic appeal of futuristic treatment methods in Hollywood.
“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.”
With close to 30 years in the industry, Klinko’s impressive portfolio includes
collaborations and campaigns with countless magazines and renowned brands such as
Lancôme, L’Oréal Paris, and Nike. In addition, he has photographed the likes of LadyGaga, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Anne Hathaway, Eva Mendes,
Naomi Campbell, Iman, and many more.
His work is already collected by celebrities and captains of industries, such as The
Weeknd, Beyoncé and Tom Cruise.
“Bowie, Beyoncé & Beyond” and the Emerald Laser collection will be on display until Sunday, August 6th
