Born in Los Angeles in 1957, David Seidner died from AIDS in 1999 at the age of 42. A collaborator with the fashion world's most prestigious magazines (Vanity Fair, The New York Times Magazine, Italian Vogue, French Vogue and Harper's Bazaar), Seidner was responsible for Yves Saint Laurent's photographic campaigns over several seasons. In addition to the first fragmentary works influenced by his encounter with John Cage and the better known fashion photography, the show features classical nudes, artists' portraits and a sequence of orchids.
