Crash, Johnie Shand Kydd

Introduction by Tilda Swinton.

These informal, insightful photographs, many of which feature major figures on the British and international art scenes, are casually framed, as if by a friend and co-conspirator—which is just what Johnnie Shand Kydd is.

Crash, documents familiar faces from the UK art scene such as Gilbert & George, Sam Taylor-Wood, Nan Goldin, Richard Prince, Juergen Teller, Maurizio Cattelan and Tracey Emin and shows the ways in which Shand Kydd has refined his straightforward and confident approach, in both theme and technique, while managing to hold onto his subjects’ familiarity and unaffected collaboration.
