NAOMI - A tribute to the supermodel in the CAMERA WORK gallery
The exhibition comprises photographs from four decades (1986-2017) that showcase Naomi Campbell in a wide variety of ways.Herb Ritts and Patrick Demarchelier emphasise her timeless elegance, while Ellen von Unwerth captures her dynamic sensuality. Arthur Elgort's reportage-like ‘En Plein Air’ shots show Campbell's natural lightness, while Russell James and Vincent Peters stage her in intimate nudes. A particular highlight is the three-dimensional work by Chris Levine from 2017, which interprets the supermodel's iconic charisma in a new way. Albert Watson's photographs, on the other hand, show Campbell in natural light and surroundings - proof of her unrivalled presence.

She campaigned for equality in the fashion industry for decades and is considered a pioneer for black models.With her unmistakable presence and versatility, Naomi Campbell remains one of the most influential personalities in the fashion world.
