Collier Schorr - Commercial and Editorial Photography Award
Collier Schorr (b. 1963, New York City, USA) Lives and works in New York, NY; Professor at Yale University.
As part of the heady New York art world of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Schorr’s early work mined the vernacular of postmodernism to create photographs that toe the line between documentary and fiction. Often using her subjects allegorically, Schorr’s work navigates the auspices of identity politics to ask beguiling questions about the nomenclature of selfhood. Her range of imagery: from atmospheric portraiture to hard glamour has been used in advertising campaigns for Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent Paris, Comme Des Garcons, Hermes, and Bottega Veneta, to name a few. Ms. Schorr has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe and is represented by 303 Gallery in New York and Modern Art in London. Ms. Schorr’s work is also represented in many public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Jewish Museum, and the The Walker Art Center. As a consistent writer and art critic, her essays have also appeared in various museum catalogs and magazines. In the last few years Ms Schorr undertook to adapt Chantal Akerman’s seminal and personal film Je Tu Il Elle into a full length dance piece made specifically to be captured by video and published as a movement script. Ms. Schorr was appointed to the Yale faculty in 2003 and is currently senior critic in photography.
