Born in New York in 1954, Steven Meisel was attracted to beauty and modeling from an early age. And at only 12 years old he asked older colleagues about how to enter the world of fashion . One of the great anecdotes of this fervent interest in starting the profession and becoming a renowned photographer led him to pretend to be one of Richard Avedon's assistants to sneak into modeling agencies and be closer to him and his work. And he even went so far as to post himself at the door of the most prestigious modeling agencies in the city to take photos of the women of the moment, like a paparazzi. Without knowing what he was doing, he set in motion a mechanism that still continues to work today: being one of the best-regarded fashion photographers in the industry. In addition to the anecdotes that define him, Meisel studied at the Higher School of Art and Design, in his hometown. Afterwards, he enrolled at Parsons, where he majored in fashion illustration and immediately graduated in it.
Among her first jobs as a professional, Halston's illustrator stands out , a job that was followed by her time at WWD ( Women's Wear Daily ). Later, an Elite agent asked him to take some photos of her at a shoot. The rest is history. Today, after more than 40 years of professional career – and after photographing the best-known faces in fashion and beauty worldwide and being the architect of the Bahamas Mobile Number List best fashion campaigns for big brands, or the editorial for Zara, one of his latest works–, a new opportunity comes to Meisel's life: Galería Alta opens an exhibition about his work, with a large majority of unpublished portraits, where his work dialogues with the space inhabited for this exhibition . Claudia Schiffer, New York, 1990. The exhibition will last from this October until next February, and is defined as a very special opportunity to see and compare some of Steven Meisel's most iconic photographs, in addition to the discovery of other works never before exhibited to the public, the result of the Alta's choice with the artist himself.
This proposal by Alta follows the trail that the MOP Foundation began last year – named after its founder, businesswoman Marta Ortega – with the title Steven Meisel 1993. A year in photographs . A retrospective that was a milestone in the sector, due to its size, scope and the exclusivity of the event, since there have been few exhibitions dedicated to this artist in both museums and galleries. Thanks to Alta, we can access Meisel's archives to relive his best works, from his beginnings to the present, and remember the times he lived alongside great stars, such as Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Carla Bruni, Natalia Vodionova, Gisele Bünchen and Stella Tennant, among other supermodels of the 90s . Linda Evangelista, New York, 1990. Among this ability to project faces and characters to create infinite narrative plots, we must mention her contribution to the knowledge of actresses and actors beyond their profession.
