Simon Procter

In the summer of 2010, the friend of photographer Simon Procter, Rolande, an aged but still very wild paintress, died. Rolande’s family agreed to open her studios one last time “before all was cleared away.” Procter, with help from his friends at Christian Dior Couture and his Paris creative team, shot in this extraordinary space. Young French model Pauline Serreau was given the daunting task of embodying the dead artist. The images in the Roland, Death of a Painter series are a unique example of life, art and death interpreted through contemporary fashion photography.

Work by fine art photographer Simon Procter that chronicles couture runway shows he photographed for Chanel over a ten-year period is currently on view at Rosenbaum Contemporary’s Miami gallery, which is located in the lobby of the St. Regis Bal Harbour Hotel.  The show opened on March 25, 2014 and will run until the end of April.

Earlier this month, Rosenbaum Contemporary participated in Art Wynwood, a fair that takes place in the Wynwood section of downtown Miami and showcases 70 international galleries. These galleries present emerging, cutting-edge, contemporary and modern art that ranges from traditional painting and sculpture to multi-media, installations and performance art.

Rosenbaum Contemporary presented an exciting lineup of emerging artists and modern masters at Art Miami 2013. Here are some of the highlights from our booth:
