KMR Arts is proud to present a new photography show featuring Mark Seliger’s platinum prints. The show will run from September 22nd until December 29th, with a reception and book signing with the artist on October 6th from 3 – 6 PM.

Mark Seliger is among the most sought after editorial, celebrity, and fashion photographers working today. The Platinum Print exhibition at KMR Arts highlights Seliger’s love of the photographic darkroom. The subjects in these exquisite prints span Seliger’s prolific career ranging from Mick Jagger and Johnny Cash to Mikhail Baryshnikov, Patti Smith to Barack Obama. Also, included in Platinum Prints will be some of Seliger’s personal work, including some nudes and landscape photographs made in his adopted city of New York.

Seliger’s career began after he moved to New York City from Amarillo, Texas, in 1984. In 1987, he began shooting small assignments for Rolling Stone. Signed as Rolling Stone’s Chief Photographer in 1992, he shot over 125 covers for the magazine. In 2001, Seliger moved from Rolling Stone to Conde Nast, and his photographs have graced the pages of Vanity Fair, Elle, Italian Vogue, L’Uomo Vogue and German Vogue. Seliger’s recent monograph, MARK SELIGER PHOTOGRAPHS, published by Harry Abrams in May, 2018, will be available for purchase.
