Description

Famed fashion & art photographer Victor Arimondi was known for his unique eye and sensuous style. This is the first major retrospective of his work since his death from AIDS/HIV in 2001.

If a picture is worth a thousand words then the iconic images of photographer Victor Arimondi (http://www.victorarimondi.net) are an unfinished epic: a tone poem that blurs the boundaries of fashion and art, and delves into realms of the sensual, the celebratory and society's disenfranchised. In the first major retrospective of the artist's work since his death from AIDS/HIV in 2001, A Compassionate Eye: The Work of Victor Arimondi explores the incredible breadth of the internationally-acclaimed photographer often compared to - but lesser known than - such contemporaries as Mapplethorpe, and Bianci.
