The exhibition William Klein at the Michael Hoppen Gallery, London, was very interesting. Klein is an American-born French photographer and filmmaker, who mainly worked in the photojournalism and fashion photography. He was well known for his ironic approach and his wide use of unusual photographic techniques.
Following his Retrospective at Tate Modern last year, the Michael Hoppen Gallery organized an exhibition of large editioned works and unique painted contacts by William Klein.
The exhibition William Klein was a mélange of both the artist reportage and fashion prints. The exhibition was a tribute to the audacious photographic techniques that brought him to celebrity, an opus that challenged the conventions of his contemporaries.
