Adriana Lima Hosts Russell James Exhibition Opening in Aspen
Celebrated Victorias Secret Angel Adriana Lima
was in Aspen over the weekend to host the opening of the new Russell
James photographic exhibition A Short-Lived Tyranny at the 212 Gallery
in Aspen.
Celebrating the exhibition in Aspen were: Adriana Lima,
Russell James, Victorias Secret model Lindsay Ellingson, President and
Chief Marketing Officer, Brand and Creative Services for Limited Brands
Ed Razek, Elle Macpherson, Greg Renker, Modern Luxury/Aspen Magazine
editor Janet OGrady, 212 Gallery owner Katie Kiernan, PepsiCos Kristin
Patrick and Mauro Porcini, acclaimed artist Caio Fonseca, and a host of
local and international art collectors.
Aspen, home to the Aspen Institute, the Goethe Bicentennial and the
historic First Photographic Conference, has long been an international
art mecca, particularly known for its association with modern art and
photography.
The new solo exhibition by James, whose images of the worlds most
beautiful women have graced countless magazine covers and made him one
of the fashion industrys most sought-after photographers, has been
culled from various shoots, commercial assignments in exotic locations,
during which James stole moments with his subjects to capture their
beauty in isolation. The resulting images are as poetic in their
intimacy as they are powerful in their seduction. From classical nudes
to back-stage candids, James photographs recall the elegance of Irving
Penn and the strength of Helmut Newton, but with an air of playfulness
that is very much his own.
Although Socrates described beauty as a short-lived tyranny, said 212
Gallery owner and exhibition curator Katie Kiernan, James pictures
eternalize the beauty of our time, a reflection of our own desires,
dreams and joy.
Lima,
ranked by Forbes and a plethora of publications as one of the most
successful supermodels in the world, is prominently featured in the
exhibition, alongside images of Lindsay Ellingson, Gisele Bundchen,
Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel, Karlie Kloss, Rosie Huntington,
Erin Heatherton and more.
