About This Lot

This is a unique work by acclaimed fashion photographer Erik Madigan Heck.

“Heck's painterly large scale photographs are at once classic and futuristic, with influences ranging from Gustav Klimt and Edgar Degas to the high contrast color and visionary design of Pop Art or Michel Gondry. This intersection of past and present lends both Erik Madigan Heck's first monograph and our exhibition their title – Old Future. As Susan Bright writes in her contribution to the book, published by Abrams in 2017, 'Heck flies into the future with his back turned – he faces history, allowing it to turn back on itself, reassigning and regrouping it with each new project.'

Heck's photography is mostly created in-camera, with only minor modifications done in post-production, and all of his photographs are naturally lit. In the past 12 months, Erik Madigan Heck’s photography has been exhibited in London, New York, and Minneapolis, with exhibitions forthcoming in Switzerland, Toronto, and Dubai. He is a regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, TIME, The New Yorker, and Harper's Bazaar UK. In 2013 he became one of the youngest photographers to receive the prestigious ICP Infinity Award, and in 2015 was awarded with the Art Directors Club’s Gold Medal and the AI-IP American Photography award for his Old Masters Portfolio, published by The New York Times Magazine. Erik Madigan Heck lives and works in Connecticut and New York City.” - Jackson Fine Art
