Kate Moss has long been one of Testino's closest friends and remains one of his favorite muses. Kate Moss, London, 2006 is a classic Testino work, both capturing the intimacy of a seemingly unguarded or fleeting moment and also heightening a sense of glamour and surreality. Perched casually on a polished bathroom counter in a sheer, frothy black dress and a black mask pulled back and slightly askew, Kate seems caught unawares in the midst of some glamourous fate. It is precisely this contrast between the apparently incidental and the impossibly glamorous which makes Testino's images continually fascinating. Regarded as one of the world’s most influential fashion and portrait photographers, Mario Testino is responsible for the creation of emblematic images, transmitting emotion and energy in an open and intimate way, to document people all over the world. Testino's work has been exhibited in museums around the world, including the Helmut Newton Foundation, Berlin (Undressed, 2017) the Shanghai Art Museum (Private View, 2012) and the National Portrait Gallery, London (Portraits, 2002). Testino’s most recent body of work is an artistic exploration of cultural identity, part of a wider project to highlight diverse beauty. As he travels the world, Testino reveals what makes culture in each country unique, challenging us to find a more sustainable balance between change and tradition. More than 17 books of his photography have been published, including MaRIO DE JANEIRO Testino, Kate Moss by Mario Testino, Alta Moda and Fina Estampa. Alongside his 40-year practice as a photographer, Testino has realized a body of work as a creative director, guest editor, art collector, philanthropist, and museum founder in Lima. In recognition of his charity work, Testino was awarded the Legion of Honour of France in 2017, the Order of the British Empire in 2013, and the Grand Cross Order of Merit in Peru in 2014. In October 2016, Testino opened the first Parques Teresita playpark in association with Natalia Vodianova and the Naked Heart Foundation in Cusco, Perú, and the second in January 2019 in Ayacucho, Peru. A third park was opened in March 2023 in Alto Selva Alegre, in Arequipa. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS BY CLICKING MY StoreICON ABOVE
