STUDIO SITTINGS
2013-03-11What remains unchanged over a period of more than 150 years is the fascination of photographers, art lovers and collectors with images of artists and their creative spaces. We still see these pictures as a record and one possible key to understanding the artist, the creative process, and the social environment in which they lived. Anne Purkiss, 2013.
For over 25 years, portrait photographer Anne Purkiss has been taking pictures of Royal Academicians. Often posed in their studios, these images are a unique record of some of the most celebrated artists of recent times. From Dame Elisabeth Frink, to Sir Peter Blake and Sir Anthony Caro the images provide a telling insight into the artist’s working environment and their creative spaces.
