David LaChapelle's Final Chapter: A Visual Sermon 🖼️🎨

"Good News," published by the esteemed German publisher TASCHEN, marks the culmination of LaChapelle's work. Known for their high-quality editions and commitment to democratising art, TASCHEN is the perfect home for this monumental publication. This beautiful hardcover art book is more than just a collection of photographs; it's a profound meditation on mortality and the search for paradise. It’s an arresting body of work, where LaChapelle attempts to photograph that which cannot be photographed, moving beyond the material world and into the spiritual.

284 pages 📖

The volume features a stunning array of subjects, from muses who have been with the artist for years to new faces. Celebrities and icons such as Pamela Anderson, Lana Del Rey, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, and Elizabeth Taylor are captured in LaChapelle’s signature style, each image a testament to his creative vision. A fascinating fact about LaChapelle is that he was discovered by Andy Warhol, who offered him his first job at Interview magazine. This early mentorship undoubtedly shaped his eye for celebrity and his knack for creating images that are both culturally relevant and timeless.
