famous photographer of the 1980′s/90′s?
Ok so I’m trying to find out the name of a well-known photographer from either the 80′s or 90′s – of American decent I believe. Here is all the info I can recall on him:
- Actor Richard Gere owns a large number of his prints, is or was his largest private collector. Is quoted as saying he finds peace and beauty in this photographers work despite the shocking and bizarre content.
- This photographer creates the strange and outlandish. Could definitely be considered “shock art” or gothic. Some content includes corpses dressed up, a man with a brick tied to his penis hovering above his face, a woman simulating felatio on a horse, etc.
- This photographer distresses the negatives and prints, scratching them, giving an overall “antiqued” appearance.
- For some reason the name Wilkinson rings a bell…but google searches havent turned up a thing.
This is driving me nuts!!! All help appreciated!
Sounds a bit like Robert Mapplethorpe, I can’t put my finger on who you are thinking of either.
