Paris Exhibition Documents Frank Horvat’s Accidental Journey to Fashion Stardom
THE OUTSIDE VIEW: Frank Horvat’s dream was to affix the distinguished Magnum photo agency and travel the world as a photojournalist. As a substitute, he ended up within the glossy pages of fashion magazines, bringing a naturalistic approach to his shoots for publications starting from Vogue to Harper’s Bazaar. That journey is documented in “Frank Horvat: Paris, the World, Fashion” on the Jeu de Paume museum in Paris, the primary major exhibition dedicated to the Italian-born photographer since his death in 2020 on the age of 92. The show, which opens Friday, features iconic images alongside lesser-known and previously unseen photographs from the archives kept in his studio-home in Boulogne-Billancourt near Paris, now managed by his daughter Fiammetta Horvat.

Art Meets Fashion at Akris Exhibition in Zurich
ZURICH — The brand new Akris exhibition at Switzerland’s top design museum is a feast for the eyes and the hands, where visitors can squint at intricately printed sequins, gaze upon dozens of large-scale paintings, photos and sculptures, fondle bolts of woven horsehair, and experience 800-gram cashmere double-face melting on their shoulders. There are even 3D glasses that make Thomas Ruff’s depiction of Martian landscapes come to life on considered one of his arresting photo works — and on a silk Akris raincoat bearing the identical otherworldly topography.

The ‘sexy and gross’ exhibition critiquing our pillage of

As a consequence of overfishing from bottom trawling, the population of oysters has dropped by 85 per cent over the past century and today the species teeters getting ready to extinction. In Fawn Rogers’ larger-than-life series of sea personalities, these clammy curiosities are imbued with recent meaning. Yoking vital themes of extinction, eroticism and ecofeminism, her paintings are an urgent reminder of climate and human rights emergencies and an eloquent testimony to the truth of life that operates beyond our possession.  “Oysters are each very fragile and highly sensual,”...
