“Chronorama,” which features a 70-year trove of Condé Nast archive photography and illustration, runs at the Palazzo Grassi until January 7, 2023.
Later we would see Stravinsky, Lee Miller , Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor, and many more. Irving Penn’s extraordinary still lives are as artfully composed as any Old Master. There is the first-photographed cover girl, the biracial bisexual Toto Koopman, in August 1933.
Interspersed with this expansively cast visual story are the works of four contemporary artists, Eric N. Mack, Giulia Andreani, Daniel Spivakov, and Tarrah Krajnak, which work to generate a 21st century imaginative angle on this mammoth retrospective. Krajnak, on site last night, explained that she is restaging and shooting photos from the exhibition and her own archive as a form of performative reconsideration, to generate fresh perspective.
Once the tour was done—and we lingered to look for so long that organizers dimmed the lights to shoo us onwards—guests gathered downstairs. They included Matthieu Blazy, Daniel Delcore, Marco De Vincenzo, Sara Battaglia, Francesco Ragazzi, Giuliano Calza, Gilda Ambrosio, and Giorgia Tordini.Matthieu BlazyPhotographed by Antonio De Masi / ademasi
Anna Wintour picked up the mic and said: “As an editor one’s nature is always, to be honest, to look forward and to examine the future. But when I looked in awe at this really exceptional collection of maybe the greatest, greatest photographs of the 20th century, I confess I felt a little nostalgic for a different era. I think back to the time when the great Irving Penn took pictures with barely anyone around him; an assistant, aeditor, a model, and his exacting standards.
She added: “Closer to my own time at Condé Nast, I’m struck most by the images that caused a stir. In one of the last rooms is Helmut Newton’s portfolio, “Story of Ohhh . . . ”, from 1975, which was so sexually liberated thatreaders were aghast and canceled hundreds and hundreds of subscriptions… Alexander Liberman, who first brought me to Condé Nast, and was our legendary editorial director, commissioned so much of the work that you see here.
