This week, I made a final visit to one of the hidden gems in the desert — Imago Galleries in Palm Desert — to review the installation for the Angels gallery show. I am presenting select works from my new Angels Limited Edition collection as well as the limited edition books. This book is limited to 1,000 copies worldwide, with 20 copies reserved for this special opening.
In addition to my work, there is also an extraordinary private collection currently on display at the gallery. Thanks to the trust and generosity of a private collector, there is a curated collection of supermodel Cindy Crawford photographed by photographic masters including Penn, Herb Ritts, and Helmut Newton. The photographs tell a tale of fashion through time, offering a visual explanation of the profound influence Cindy Crawford continues to have on modern culture. The works span some of the very first photographs of Cindy to my own recent photographs of her for Angels. Viewing my work in that room amongst those masters was a surreal and humbling experience. I would usually only expect to see a presentation of this nature in a major museum exhibit, and highly recommend a visit if you are fortunate to have an upcoming trip to the area.
For inquiries regarding fine art and limited edition collector's books, please contact angels@russelljames.com.
For those of you who may be visiting Palm Springs, Imago Galleries is located at 45-450 CA-74 in Palm Desert, and the exhibit will be open until May 1st. I look forward to being back at the gallery for the official grand opening event in the coming weeks.
