The Little Black Gallery is proud to present Patrick Lichfield:
Nudes
from 24 April – 26
May 2012. This is the first exhibition of Lichfield's nudes.
Patrick Lichfield
(1939-2005) was an internationally renowned photographer who worked
for all the major
magazines, exhibited worldwide, and published several books during his
career. The
National Portrait Gallery dedicated a retrospective exhibition to the
first
twenty years of
his work in 2002. His great break was when he was summoned by Diana
Vreeland, the
doyenne of fashion editors, to photograph the Duke and Duchess of
Windsor, and given
a five year contract with American Vogue. In 1981 he was appointed
official
photographer at the wedding of his cousin, The Prince of Wales, and
Lady Diana
Spencer.
He is lesser known
for his nude work which will be exhibited for the first time.
