Head to The Dallas Contemporary on Friday evening to celebrate two new photography exhibits opening by Ezra Petronio and Juergen Teller. Both artists will be at the gallery for the opening reception, which will, of course, include cocktails. Petronio’s Bold & Beautiful exhibit is described as a chaotic “star-filled yearbook.” Retro prints of familiar celebs will be around the museum. (See examples above.) Teller’s exhibit, Man with Banana, includes unseen photos of his work that include celebs and work with high fashion houses. (See right.) He’s known blending “commercial and non-commercial” work in his art. (Remember the recent Marc Jacobs ads that looked a little washed out and retro? That’s Juergen.) It’s definitely an opportunity not to be missed for photography-lovers, artists, and fashionistas. Love the beautiful pages of magazines like Vogue and W? These are the guys that give everyday tabloid celebs some depth in funky photo shoots (and the guys that make ads so pretty you drool on them).
