OBJECT MAGAZINE
American artist, famous for his work in the field of fashion and advertising, Robert Farber is considered one of the masters of nude photography. Along with a more commercial production, he frequented the theme of the erotic portrait, with results of the highest refinement. Farber's is an elegant nudity, imbued with fantasy and a vein of mystery: his photographs are carnal, poetic, characterized by bold cuts and strong luministic contrasts.
ARTWORK ARCHIVE
His commercial photography has always echoed fine art composition. He continues to set up different mediums to be in a continuous conversation with each other. Farber is not only interested in illustrating ideas of change over time, but he is also constantly adapting to changing circumstances. Most recently, he’s worked to create video animations of his works that degraded with time. His animations are a new art form themselves while also showing how an individual artwork changes with time and age.
THE EYE OF PHOTOGRAPHY
The Selects Gallery is the first gallery to partner with renowned fashion and fine art photographer Robert Farber for his international exhibition Women as Art: 50 Years of an Evolving Vision. Women As Art is a retrospective in celebration of Robert Farber’s extensive five-decade career.

THE EYE OF PHOTOGRAPHY
For Miami Art Week, The Selects Gallery is presenting “Glamour and Danger”, an exclusive exhibition about cult photographer Chris von Wangenheim starting December 04th 2020 for Miami art week along with a live talk with the artists that worked on set with the photographer. In the 1970s, the photographer Chris Von Wangenheim radically challenged the public taste with high fashion photographs capturing the zeitgeist and cultural changes of the era. His images have remained largely unseen since his tragic death in 1981 and The Selects Gallery is showing the images exclusively 40 years later.
THE EYE OF PHOTOGRAPHY
The Selects Gallery was founded in February 2018 in New York City as a platform to discover, learn, and acquire art photography from the world’s best fashion photographers. The gallery was born from the desire of founder Marie Audier D’Alessandris to give a second life to these images sleeping in archives and in many cases forgotten after the original photoshoot. Marie is a French-American married to an Italian and the mum of 2 boys, living in New York City after several years in Latin America.
FLAIR WOMEN: 19 INTERVIEWS IN 2019
Beyond the podcasts which I launched this year, I continued to have the opportunity to interview some incredible founders, doers and makers in 2019 for this site. Three women were also interviewed for the podcast, but many who create beautiful jewelry, art, clothing and home were best suited for an online story so you could see their inspiring work.

BRINGING FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY HOME: THE SELECTS GALLERY MARIE AUDIER D’ALESSANDRIS
Marie knows, like I do, the sometimes Herculean effort that goes into creating a memorable fashion photograph; it often includes travel to exotic locales for the right backdrop or complicated custom-built sets, the creative vision of the stylist and photographer (and overseeing company funding it all), the hair, the makeup, the clothes, and the model or subject that makes the image jump off the page. But after spending 15 years at L’Oreal in Paris and NYC and 5 at Coach, Marie felt like much of this effort was a waste, because the end result often showed up for one month in a magazine, and then was relegated to archives. Marie’s solution? Her year-old online gallery, The Selects Gallery, which features the work of fashion and beauty photographers by offering large scale prints mean to grace any wall you see fit. Starting this Thursday she is showing some of her work, including images by 70s photographer Chris Von Wagenheim that haven’t been shown in 40 years, at the Pier 94 Art Show in NYC.

Wall Art: Das sind die besten Onlineshops für richtig coole Interior-Bilder
More and more people are concerned with sustainability and a more aware approach to our environment. Few have in this context probably ever wondered what actually happens to pictures of fashion shoots after being selected and published by a magazine. Marie Audier D'Alessandris racked her brain for years before deciding to breathe new life into the high-end photography: The Selects Gallery came out. Instead of lying in the magazine archives unused, the works of world-class photographers are now available as art prints and beautify every home, guaranteed!
Remember your (hopefully not as awkward as mine) pre-teen years, when you cut out magazine pages, made collages, and plastered them to your bedroom wall for fashion inspiration? Well, that idea just got way, way chicer.
The Selects Gallery, which launched this month, lets you purchase high-quality, exclusive wall art without ever stepping foot in a swanky downtown NYC gallery. The online shop pulls prints from the magazine archives of world-class photographers, and repurposes the images as home décor. The images are packaged in customizable frames and shipped right to your door.
