Alex Lake (born 1974)

Footnotes

Provenance
Offered by Too Late Gallery.
This print was produced specifically for this sale and is Alex Lake's debut at auction.

This image was used for the first time for the award wining British documentary 'Amy' by Asif Kapadia and James Gay-Rees in 2015. Alex Lake recalls I took this portrait of Amy in a little pub south of the River Thames called the Gladstone Arms. I remember it was nice to have some unrushed time with her to work where she could focus on being photographed with little else to distract. The photograph as presented was the one used many years after her death as the cover art for the AMY documentary. It is interesting for people to view the photograph in this way, a domination of black and just her eyes - inevitably I see a sadness in them, but again its a testament to the power of every aspect of Amy that you can reduce her visually to this image, this aspect of her look and instantly you know exactly who you're staring at.
