Ronnie Cutrone belongs to the first generation of American artists whose visual education was formed in front of television, the Hollywood icons, coloring books, commercials, rockʼn'roll, and other forms of mass media. The term “supermodel” became prominent in the popular culture of the 1980s. But it was only in the 1990s when the term was equivalent to “superstar,” implying that the model’s fame originated in her personality.
In 1995 Ronnie Cutrone pioneered a new series from taking existing photographs of iconic supermodels of the late 20th century, cutting up the pictures, adding colors and graphics and printing the images on canvas. Originally these paintings were commissioned to hang in the New York restaurant Fashion Café owned by Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford and Elle McPherson.

Karl Lagerfeld, Jeff Koons Versailles
Jeff Koons Versailles. "Chainlink"
2008
Ink jet print on canvas
117 x 92 cm
46.06 x 36.22 inches
The series of only 14 unique photo prints on canvas by Karl Lagerfeld in collaboration with Jeff Koons for his historic exhibition at Versailles exemplifies not only the extraordinary talent of Karl Lagerfeld as a photographer but also his incredible insight in matters of great proportion and symbolism.
Taking this truly once in a lifetime Jeff Koons extravaganza of showing his most famous sculptures in the richly gilded and decorated rooms of Versailles is both the most unlikely and the most appropriate match thinkable. Bringing to mind the caprices of Marie Antoinette creating the most artificial decorations and scenes such as her famed "back to nature" while looking at the appropriations of our media-dominated world by Jeff Koons are interesting statements both of history and of art in itself.
Out of a cover story for the famous Vanity Fair, organized by the former editor-in-chief of Interview Magazine Ingrid Sishi, this small group of only 14 unique works was created exclusively for Galerie Gmurzynska in 2008.
