Samuel Owen Gallery in Greenwich Hosts Black & White Carpet: An Exclusive Photo Exhibition Featuring Candid Red Carpet Photos from Stéphane Kossmann
On February 9th, Samuel Owen Gallery of Greenwich will open Black & White Carpet: An exclusive photographic exhibition featuring candid celebrity black-and-white photography taken on the Red Carpet of the Cannes Film Festival by international photographer Stéphane Kossmann. They will include Leonardo di Caprio, George Clooney, Madonna, Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, etc.
For the past 20 years, Kossmann has been covering the red carpet – “the steps”- initially for “7 à Paris” and later for “Cinephage” magazine by taking black-and-white shots of celebrities and directors caught off-guard. During the festival in 2004 and 2005, several of these photos could be seen on 100-square-meter posters emblazoning buildings around Cannes as a token of appreciation for Kossmann’s work by the mayor and the city of Cannes. And 110 more — of Pedro Almodovar, Sharon Stone, Sean Penn, Nicole Kidman, and Robert de Niro — were contained in a book, “Observations sur les marches a Cannes,” produced by Sophie Lepeu.
