No ordinary look book here, Inez and Vinoodh shoot, Maggie Rizer models, and M/M art direct. Very surreal props, framing, lighting and connotations of witchcraft vie for equal attention with the clothes, which of course are super.

Yohji Yamamoto Fall Winter 1998/1999
No ordinary look book here, Inez and Vinoodh shoot, Maggie Rizer models, and M/M art direct. Very surreal props, framing, lighting and connotations of witchcraft vie for equal attention with the clothes, which of course are super.
Michael Clark Company v The Fall : I am Curious, Orange
One of Michael Clark's better known outings- in collaboration with the Fall. With Leigh Bowery, lighting by Charles Atlas and costumes by Bodymap. Traditional 'high culture' gets the post punk/new wave treatment!
Michael Clark Company : Because We Must
Programme for Michael Clark's stunning piece with Charles Atlas, Bodymap and Leigh Bowery.
Masahisa Fukase / Yohko (signed)
Yohko was published 2 years after their divorce, and is much about loss as about the joys of life. Fukase shot her as a primary subject over 13 years, to the point of violent obsession. Yoko herself described their life together as 'suffocating dullness interspersed by violent and near suicidal flashes of excitement'. The narrative of the images are really a collaboration, as she is very much complicit and often posing for the camera, and it's a beautiful and almost biographical piece of work, albeit heavily edited. It is of course now common knowledge that Ravens was shot in the aftermath of the divorce, and some of the earliest images appear here, pre-dating the standalone book by 8 years. Signed examples are extremely scarce, with most Fukase signatures being much later, and seldomly of this title.
Section 25 and Quando Quango at The Ritz
Poster issued by the short lived Factory New York arm set up by Wilson with Michael Shamberg in charge. Factory NY was built with funds from the success of Joy Division, but declined and untimately ceased operation a few years later due to the disasterous Hacienda back in Manchester sucking up all the money. During the time Factory NY operated, a number of singles were issued, and concerts organised (most notable New Order at The Paradise Garage). The visual identity was a little more fluid than the UK operation, with numerous artists contributing to sleeves and posters. Lawrence Weiner, through his relationship with Shamberg designed four posters. Appears in Lawrence Weiner Posters November 1965-April 1986.
