Firooz Zahedi: that was then, this is now

Zahedi is a significant Hollywood photographer who has created memorable images of celebrities for decades. Any number of Zahedi’s photographs are deeply embedded in our cultural imagination, from the shot of Uma Thurman on the Pulp Fiction poster to hundreds of images of Elizabeth Taylor. In recent years he has begun to manipulate his commercial work in different ways, examining it self-reflexively. In so doing he comments on both his own work and the image system in which it operates. This exhibition will include more than a dozen works by the artist, as well as vintage glamour prints that will establish historical context of the history Zahedi deconstructs.
