Edition of 5 +2AP 147 x 118 cm C-print; signed, titled, dated and numbered on the reverse 57.87 x 46.45 in. Provenance: Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont, Paris Acquired directly from the latter by the current owner FR A brilliant portraitist, Bettina Rheims has the art of revealing the personality and emotions of those she photographs. Her images are evocative, disturbing and touching. Her heroines, famous or not, always photographed with kindness, abandon themselves unfiltered in the lens. The female body, whether nude or clothed, is the central subject of his work. It's not the nudity that interests her, but what lies beneath it, what it provokes in those who look and project their own fantasies onto it. Bettina Rheims was also one of the first photographers to capture the emergence of transgender people long before the subject came to the fore.
