Photographed by Reed Krakoff, Women in Art: Figures of Influences features intimate black-and-white portraits of leading women in the contemporary art community. From Valentina Castellani, Almine Rech, and Jeanne-Greenberg Rohatyn to Dominique Levy, Marianne Boesky, and Lucy Chadwick, each women possesses undeniable talent, creativity, and intelligence - making them prominent figureheads of renowned galleries, museums, and institutions across the globe.
Complementing each image is an art questionnaire - following in the spirit of Assouline's bestselling Proust Questionnaire and Fashion Questionnaire - personally completed by each women along with selected works of art. A true objet d' art, Women in Art: Figures of Influences offers a unique window into the feminine side of the art world.
"Marrying the world of architecture, art, and design, I chose to photograph each subject in her work environment - namely art galleries and fine - art institutions."
- Reed Krakoff
