Casemore Kirkeby is pleased to present Larry Sultan: Editorial Works, a selection of images - many never before exhibited - taken from editorial and commercial assignments the late photographer Larry Sultan shot for Interview, W, and Wallpaper magazines, as well as ad campaigns for Bottega Veneta, Kate Spade, and others. The exhibition coincides with the retrospective Larry Sultan: Here and Home at SFMOMA Beginning in the mid-1990s, Larry Sultan increasingly worked on editorial assignments with the intention to both support and inform his own artistic practice. Over several years, he developed strong collaborative relationships with a number of forward-thinking art directors, photo editors, and publications. Sultan's uncanny ability to visually illuminate their stories while simultaneously interrogating the imagery and its cultural underpinnings in a way that was sensitive, nuanced, seductive, and darkly humorous was deeply valued. The editorial work, in turn, gave Sultan permission to wander through situations normally off-limits to a nonparticipant, often creating a relationship of reciprocal influence between Sultan’s editorial and personal work.
