"A major David LaChapelle exhibition is on the way. Titled Make Believe, the Fotografiska show in New York will explore the iconic photographer’s obsession with religion and celebrity culture.

Since the 1980s, David LaChapelle has been creating some of the world’s most iconic images in fashion, music, and art, while effectively changing the face of celebrity photography. Now, the artist’s first solo show at a New York museum, and his biggest in the US to date, is set to chronicle these decades of pioneering work, opening at Fotografiska New York this September.

Titled Make Believe, presumably in reference to the fantastical imagery that has become LaChapelle’s trademark, the show will feature more than 150 works, created between 1984 and 2022. These works are broken into five distinct themes: religion, the environment, gender identity, body image, and the complex construct of celebrity."

 

So many of his works are highly recognisable and influential:
