Images of Desire

 
Philadelphia: The Galleries at Moore, 1989. LCC: 88-081878. 20 pp; 14 b&w ills., bibliography, chronology/biography, exhibition history. Foreword by Richard Torchia. Soft back $20 plus s/h [ISBN 1-58442-010-3].

Catalog for the exhibition of the same name held at the Galleries at Moore, January 9–February 15, 1989. Examines the phenomenon of blurred lines between advertising and art, which developed in the eighties through the seductive work of leading commercial photographers Dominique Issermann, Wayne Maser, Ken Nahoum, Denis Piel, Annie Leibovitz, Bruce Weber, and Oliviero Toscani.

Their commercial work has changed the way we view advertising; the presentation of their works in a gallery context is intended to change the way we view photography. Fully illustrated with both well-known campaigns and editorial outtakes. Includes and essay by Andy Grundberg, “Images of Desire: Portrayals in Recent Advertising Photography.”.
