David LaChapelle's 'Lost + Found' Retrospective at Casa dei Tre Oci, Venice
The Casa dei Tre Oci in Venice is showcasing 'Lost + Found,' a comprehensive retrospective of the work of American photographer David LaChapelle, who was born in 1963 in Fairfield. Curated by Denis Curti and Reiner Opoku, this exhibition highlights LaChapelle's artistic journey, starting with his 1984 series 'Good News for Modern Man' and continuing with his recent 'New World' series, developed over the last four years in Hawaii. Featured pieces include 'Negative Currency' (1990-2008), 'Still Life' (2009-12), 'Deluge' (2006), 'Earth Laughs in Flowers' (2008-11), 'Jesus is My Homeboy' (2013), and 'Aristocracy' (2014). Influenced by his 2006 visit to Italy, the exhibition promotes environmental consciousness and displays 'My Own Marilyn' featuring Amanda Lepore across three floors on Giudecca island.
