“Supermodels of the ’70s and ’80s” is the title of the new exhibition from photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sander’s showing at the Steven Kasher Gallery in Chelsea, New York.
The body of work includes well known supermodels from the era such as Beverly Johnson, Kim Alexis, Cheryl Tiegs, and Christie Brinkley.
Timothy writes: “I have always been interested in how we deal with aging in our hopelessly ‘youth oriented’ society. These women, now in their fifties, were once the reigning queens of American beauty. As ultimate icons of world-wide marketing, I knew their stories would be extraordinary and I wanted to hear what they had to say. For the portraits, I used my 8×10 Deardorff and also filmed a documentary of interviews and mise-en-scene.”
