Who’s the greatest star of star photography? It’s the inimitable David LaChapelle, the photographer whose singular style is perfectly unmistakable. He has photographed personalities as diverse as Tupac Shakur, Madonna, Amanda Lepore, Eminem, Philip Johnson, Lance Armstrong, Pamela Anderson, Lil’ Kim, Uma Thurman, Elizabeth Taylor, David Beckham, Paris Hilton, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hillary Clinton, Muhammad Ali, and Britney Spears, to name just a few. Once called the Fellini of photography, LaChapelle has worked for the most prestigious international publications and has been the subject of exhibitions in both commercial galleries and leading public institutions around the world.

Celebrating the visionary LaChapelle’s truly extraordinary photography, this 698-page, XL-sized book is packed cover-to-cover with vibrant full-bleed images; the best of his entire career to date. Bursting at the seams with spectacle and drama, and saturated with colors that only LaChapelle can realize, this limited edition pays tribute to the most daring and ambitious photographer in the history of portraiture.

Not yet out of high school, LaChapelle was offered his first professional job by Andy Warhol to shoot for Interview magazine. His photography has been showcased in numerous galleries and museums, including Staley-Wise; Tony Shafrazi Gallery and Deitch Projects in New York; the Fahey-Klein Gallery in California; Goss Gallery in Dallas; and internationally at Artmosphere in Vienna; Camerawork in Germany; Reflex Amsterdam; Maruani & Noirhomme in Belgium; Sozzani and Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Italy; and at the Barbican Museum in London, to this day the most attended show in the museum’s history. His unfettered images of celebrity and contemporary pop culture have appeared on and between the covers of magazines such as Italian Vogue, French Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and i-D.

In recent years LaChapelle has expanded his work to include music videos, live theatrical events and documentary film-making. His directing credits include music videos for artists such as Christina Aguilera, Moby, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, The Vines and No Doubt. “It’s My Life” with Gwen Stefani won the award for Best Pop Video at the MTV Music Video Awards and LaChapelle himself garnered the MPVA’s Director of the Year award in 2004. His stage work includes Elton John’s The Red Piano, the Caesar’s Palace spectacular he designed and directed, and which was the top-selling show in Las Vegas for 2004. His burgeoning interest in film saw him make the short documentary Krumped, an award-winner at Sundance from which he developed RIZE, the feature film acquired for worldwide distribution by Lions Gate Films. The film was released in the U.S. and internationally in the Summer of 2005 to huge critical acclaim, and was chosen to open the 2005 Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.

Ranked among the top ten “most important people in photography” by American Photo magazine, LaChapelle’s work continues to be inspired by everything from art history to pornography, creating both a record and mirror of all facets of popular culture today.

All color illustrations are color-separated and reproduced in Pan4C, the finest reproduction technique available today, which provides unequalled intensity and color range.

Reviews:

 

„Der Fotografengott David LaChapelle hat mit Artists and Prostitutes die Bibel der Glamourfotografie vorgelegt.“
Du&Ich, Berlin
Germany

"Down with the likes of Tupac and Pammy Anderson, LaChapelle's new book has enough pictures of ladies in no clothing to make this worth 15 minutes of any wrist's time. Bonza."
Ice Magazine, London
United Kingdom

"A daring, lysergic, visionary work that questions our ideas of gender, consumerism, religion, pornography, fashion and pop culture... LaChapelle's photographs are a visceral thrill for the eyes: more an emotional rush than a cerebral calm."
Prestige Magazine, Shanghai
China

"Who to buy it for: Anyone who has snapped a celeb for Heat magazine on their mobile."
Daily Telegraph, London
United Kingdom

“Para celebrar sus dos décadas de trayectoria como referente inconfundible de la cultura pop la editorial TASCHEN ha publicado la retrospectiva Artists & Prostitutes. Todo un lujo en edición limitada de dos mil quinientos ejemplares firmados por LaChapelle.”
Tendencias, Madrid
Spain

“Provocador es el adjetivo que describe el nuevo proyecto del fotógrafo David LaChapelle: Artists & Prostitutes, un libro de edición limitada –únicamente 2500 ejemplares-que ya domina el mundo.”
Marie Claire, México, D.F.
Mexico

"Dernièrement l’énorme ouvrage publié chez TASCHEN, vendu 1500 euros pièce, a été épuisé en deux mois. La provocation de porte bien, même si le trublion de la photographie s’est quand même assagi, étant désormais capable du meilleur comme du pire."
Paris Capitale, Paris
France

"Pammie took the stars and strips to a new level when she adorned her naked body with strategically-placed stickers. And it was all for the renowned snapper's lush celeb-packed photo book Artists & Prostitutes. "
The Sun, London
United Kingdom

“In David LaChapelle’s Artists & Prostitutes, TASCHEN gathered some of LaChapelle’s most striking stills. Breasts feature prominently in LaChapelle’s work, especially those of the uber-sized Pamela Anderson and of the number one transsexual Amanda Lapore, all while exploring themes of pornography, the cult of celebrity, mass consumerism, decadence, body as commodity, and fantasy.”
Juxtapoz, San Francisco
United States

"La consécration livresque est intervenue, en 2006, sous la forme d’un objet de collection, de taille XXL (34.5 x 50 cm) dont l’éditeur allemand TASCHEN a la spécialité. Pas moins de 698 pages « saignantes à mort » rassemblées sous le titre, LaChapelle, Artists&Prostitutes, qui retracent la courte mais déjà riche carrière."
Vogue Hommes International, Paris
France

„Ein in jeder Hinsicht üppiger Bildband ist der Titel Artists & Prostitutes des Fotokünstlers LaChapelle. Fast 700 Seiten in XL-Größe mit bizarren und außergewöhnlichen Bildern von Prominenten. Farbenfroh, auf jeder Seite überraschend ... Elton John, David Beckham, Naomi Campell, Cameron Diaz, Madonna und viele andere Berühmtheiten wurden von David LaChapelle in atemberaubender Weise abgelichtet. Nur 2.500 Exemplare werden aufgelegt, was den Bildband zu einem begehrten Sammlerstück macht. Ein echtes Kunstwerk. Seite für Seite."
Dex Magazin, Düsseldorf
Germany

“For years, David LaChapelle’s fashion shoots and celebrity portraits have been eye-popping colorful and over-the-top. His new book, Artists & Prostitutes is an appropriately extra-large, 688-page behemoth.”
Entertainment Weekly, New York
United States

"David LaChapelle a su développer un univers photographique unique en son genre. Généreuses et souvent empreintes d’humour ses photos ont su séduire le public du monde entier et notamment le microcosme des stars dont aucune ne saurait lui refuser un cliché… Benedikt Taschen publie Artists & Prostitutes, un ouvrage somptueux qui nous invite à admirer l’extraordinaire galerie de portraits de ce photographe baroque hors du commun."
L’Imprononçable, Strasbourg
France

"David LaChapelle ist der US-Fotograf der Superlative. Seine Welt ist eine surreal-fantastische. Seine Bildinszenierungen sind nicht selten grotesk, mitunter skandalös, aber nie ungut. Unzählige Celebrities gieren danach, von seiner Linse erfasst zu werden. Der TASCHEN-Verlag huldigt LaChapelle mit diesem dicken Bildband-Schmöker, der nicht bloß für ihn spricht, sondern beinahe schon schreit."
IQ Style, Berlin
Germany

“¿Es un fotógrafo o es una estrella? Tal vez ambas cosas. (…) Si te fascina su personalidad y su trabajo, ya tienes una tentación más en la que invertir tu sueldo. Un libro XXL en el que encontrarás las fotografías más surrealistas de Eminem, Britney Spears o Pam Anderson.”
Woman, Barcelona
Spain

"Artists & Prostitutes. What an ironic, dramatic and very LaChapelle-like name. He has been considered as one of the most successful and iconic photographers since the 1980s. Paris Hilton, Madonna, Eminem or even Tupac Shakur were just being pets in front of LaChapelle's lens and angles. No CG nor fake. His realism is sometimes called Magritte in fashion, and he has expanded his career to the movie screen recently. His representative XXL book is available from TASCHEN."
Playboy Japan, Tokyo
Japan

"Fast 700 Seiten in XL-Größe mit bizarren und außergewöhnlichen Bildern von Prominenten. Farbenfroh, auf jeder Seite überraschend ...

"Seine Vorliebe für Superlative stellt David LaChapelle in seinem auf 2.500 Exemplare limitierten Fotoband Artists & Prostitutes auf beeindruckende Art und Weise zur Schau."
reflect, Stuttgart

"Coffee tables for the wealthy, prepare for Lachapelle, Artists & Prostitutes, a luxurious limited edition of 2,500 copies worldwide, signed and numbered by the famous photographer."
Wanted, Business Day, Cape Town
South Africa
