PIERRE COMMOY (1950-)


Greeting card with photographic collage of men.
123x152 mm; 4 3/4x6 inches; folds out to 300mm; 11 3/4 inches. Left side inscribed by Commoy: "Happy sexy new year!!! See you soon in Paris. All my love for you and Muffin!! Pierre" 1974.

Commoy is half of the artistic and romantic duo with partner Pierre Gilles Blanchard, known as Pierre et Gilles. Their fusion of photography and painting features stylized painted photographs which synthesize tropes drawn from celebrity and mainstream gay culture, blended with themes of religion, mythology, and idealized beauty. While most works feature their own friends and family, they have photographed international stars like Andy Warhol, Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Dita Von Teese, Tilda Swinton, Karl Lagerfeld, Marilyn Manson, Mick Jagger, and Iggy Pop.
