LaChapelle Land Book

Book DescriptionDeluxe, larger-format reissue of this collectible, long out-of-print book. The marriage of David LaChapelle’s vivid, high-octane images with graphic artist, Tadanori Yokoo’s super-saturated designs, is an astonishing showcase for the lollipop giddiness of the original. LaChapelle exaggerates the artificiality of fame and Hollywood culture in a head-on collision of color, plastic, and whimsy. His photographs challenge ideas of taste and celebrity, while taking us on a roller coaster ride through a hyper-sensationalized galaxy. L'il Kim becomes the ultimate status symbol, tattooed in the Louis Vuitton pattern. Madonna rises from pink waters as a mystical dragon princess. Pamela Anderson hatches out of an egg. The acclaimed Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century recognizes David LaChapelle’s 1996 LaChapelle Land as its 101st book. LaChapelle Land is packaged and produced by Callaway Editions.152 Pages.About  the AuthorDavid LaChapelle's images have appeared in Italian Vogue, Rolling Stone, i-D, Vibe, Interview, The Face, and British GQ, and he is currently under contract with Vanity Fair.
