Inez & Vinoodh will be signing their Pretty Much Everything catalogue at Gagosian Shop, New York on Monday, December 16, 2013, 5–6pm. Gagosian Shop is pleased to announce a book signing with Inez & Vinoodh to celebrate the release of the long-awaited trade edition of Pretty Much Everything, published by Taschen. The 3-volume limited edition was released in 2011. Pretty Much Everything offers an extensive view of the duo’s work of the past two decades, from editorial photographs for Vogue and Vanity Fair to portraits of legendary actors and cultural figures in poses and guises both imaginative and edgy. The fully illustrated single softcover volume is designed by M/M Paris and features an essay by Glenn O’Brien.
Inez & Vinoodh were born in 1963 and 1961, respectively, in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. They met while studying art and photography. Since beginning to work together in the late 1980s, they have created images for many leading international brands in luxury and fashion, as well as regular editorial features for magazines such as i-D, Interview, Purple, Pop, Vanity Fair, Vogue USA, Vogue China, Paris Vogue, Vogue Hommes International, Vogue Italia, Another Magazine, Gentlewoman, Visionaire, V, V Man, and W. Their retrospective project Pretty Much Everything is the most comprehensive record of their work to date. The extensive travelling exhibition of the same name opened at FOAM, Amsterdam in 2010, traveling to Sao Paulo in 2011, and Dallas Contemporary, Texas in 2012. Their most recent exhibition was at Gagosian Gallery Beverly Hills earlier this year. Inez & Vinoodh live and work in New York.
