Lagerfeld visited
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars on Friday, 16 November, to present his photography exhibition, entitled ‘A Different
View’, in the latest of the luxury manufacturer’s Icons of Art series. Mr Lagerfeld presented the
exhibition, which comprises his own unique photographs of Rolls-Royce motor
cars, to private guests at
the Home of
Rolls-Royce at Goodwood, West Sussex. The event was compered by Peter York, the
esteemed media commentator, journalist and author.
Every Rolls-Royce motor car is an
inspired, one-of-a-kind work of art. Throughout 2012, Rolls‑Royce Motor Cars
has hosted the Icons of Art series –
a succession of private talks by contemporary artists in tribute to the
impeccable artistry behind each Rolls-Royce motor car. The series provides an
opportunity to share passion for innovation and artistic merit, exploring
innovative canvasses for artistic creation and modern day excellence.
Besides his
work as a fashion designer, Karl Lagerfeld has extensively pursued his passion
for photography since 1987. His images have been shown in several international
exhibitions, from the Langen Foundation in Neuss, to the Museum del Bramante
Cloister in Rome.
His latest
work explores a fascination with textures, surfaces, shapes and abstractions
that transcend his highly acclaimed position in the fashion world. Photography
provides an ideal platform from which to appreciate the finest of details and
facilitates the juxtaposition of automobile, light and nature. Lagerfeld’s
exhibition explores these themes by connecting and contrasting the forms
visible before the camera and shaping a different view.
