“IT GIRLS & BOYS” BY TERRY O’NEILL CURATED BY THE LITTLE BLACK GALLERY OF LONDON FOR NEST
At an exclusive cocktail party hosted by NEST owner, Sara Columbo, famed photographer Terry O’Neill was feted at an exhibition of iconic photographs curated by The Little Black Gallery of London exclusively for NEST on Thursday, April 11th.
For the unveiling of this unique stateside exhibit, Mr. O’Neill personally introduced a 35 piece photography collection (including never before seen works) that will be on display and available for purchase at NEST until approximately the end of June 2013.
Terry O’Neill (b 1938) is one of the greatest British photographers of the twentieth century. He has achieved worldwide success documenting fashion, style and celebrities from the 1960s until the present day. He has photographed countless icons during his 50 year career with his distinct style of capturing his subjects in unconventional or candid settings.
The exhibit features some of O’Neill’s most famous and memorable portraits including images of Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Keith Richards and Raquel Welch – among many others. O’Neill also signed copies of his most recent photography book ‘All About Bond’ that celebrates the legacy of James Bond.
