Digitally produced chromogenic c-type print on Fujiflex Crystal Archive Supergloss paper with a border.

Signed, numbered and dated by the artist on the reverse.

On the occasion of his major retrospective at the MFA in Boston, Counter Editions is releasing four new prints by the inimitable photographer Mario Testino. Instantly recognisable for the casual elegance and visual opulence of his images, Testino's photographs reveal alluring glimpses of his high-fashion world and simultaneously mythologize it.

Kate Moss has long been one of Testino's closest friends and remains one of his favourite muses. Kate Moss, London, 2006 is a classic Testino work, both capturing the intimacy of a seemingly unguarded or fleeting moment and also heightening a sense of glamour and surreality. Perched casually on a polished bathroom counter in a sheer, frothy black dress and a black mask pulled back and slightly askew, Kate seems caught unawares in the midst of some glamourous fête. It is precisely this contrast between the apparently incidental and the impossibly glamorous which makes Testino's images continually fascinating.
