...Hong Kong, Italy and the U.S., the collection is the result of Tommy Hilfiger's acquisition of the Karl Lagerfeld trademark in 2004. And while Lagerfeld is famous for his multitasking talents, whether that means cutting a Chanel jacket, designing a Fendi fur coat, snapping a high-fashion photograph or discussing 16th century Spanish philosophy in one of his five languages, the world of less expensive clothes is new territory for him. Adding one more collection may be easy. Breaking into a crowded market filled with a vast array of established denim brands, T shirt designers and manufacturing powerhouses like...
...from the classical establishment. He soon married composer Luna Pearl Woolf ’95, whom he met at Harvard. Together, they created Oxingale Records, the label under which he released his strikingly imaginative recording of Bach’s Six Cello Suites, replete with an exuberant cover photograph of Haimovitz in a wheat field, triumphantly lifting his cello to the sky.

In the next room are similar shots of King Henry VIII of England and his six wives. In Sugimoto's rendering, it is as if the royals had traveled from the 16th century to sit for official portraits. Subverting our assumptions about reality and illusion has long been...
...might admire his output, despite or because of his "primitivism," but even his biggest fans were disconcerted that a minor civil servant could rise to such heights. Some said he painted "without thinking," others claimed he worked under spirit guidance. In fact, he put together his dramatic tableaux using photographs, postcards, book and magazine illustrations, and drawings of plants or scenes he made on the spot. Stories of life in the bloodthirsty wild were popular in his day, and the source material on show includes an album he owned called Wild Beasts with "around 200 amusing illustrations of the life...
