HAMILTONS proudly presents Platinum, an exhibition of works by photographer Horst P. Horst. The show focuses solely on Horst’s exquisitely crafted and evocative platinum prints featuring images such as White Sleeve 1936, Dali Costumes 1939 and Mainbocher Corset 1939. Also included in this show are some of the most rare examples of Horst’s works in platinum, the platinum on linen prints. 

 

It is nearing a decade since Hamiltons presented a Horst show and this is surely the most fitting tribute to his centenary year. A cloth bound limited edition slip cased book has been published to commemorate the show and will be available throughout the exhibition.
