Antonio Lopez: Instamatics

Karl Lagerfeld; Paul Caranicas

Synopsis:
Antonio Lopez’s fashion illustrations dazzled, entertained, and defined an age and culture — from the mid–1960s until his death in 1987. In 1972, he bought a Kodak Instamatic camera and kept a photographic diary of the people who came and went through his studio. Lopez’s subjects include Warhol, Mapplethorpe, Grace Jones, Patti d’Arbanville, Mick Jagger, and many more. He elaborated these portraits into sequences, and explored fantasy elements, mixing sexuality and humor, within each series. Hidden away in a Brooklyn archive until their recent rediscovery, these 400 previously unpublished color photos are presented for the first time in this lavish oversize book. “A legendary illustrator that also took some of the sexiest snapshots ever made.... A major discovery.” — American Photo
