Andy Warhol and David Hockney appear in Peter Schlesinger’s new exhibition, which brings together photos he took of artists and socialites in the 1970s
“ Mapplethorpe didn’t know me and he didn’t know I was taking his picture. With some , I was friends with them and found myself in the situations you see in the images. In most cases, you just grab a moment, whatever you can. The situations may just be very quick. If I could take one frame or two frames at most, that would be lucky.
The Mapplethorpe image in the show, for example, was the only one I was able to take – there weren’t many to choose from. I however have a few different shots from La Piscine Deligny, and for the show, I chose the one I liked the best. I remember there was the main pool and an upper level where I took the picture from.“ Peter Schlesinger: France 1969 - 1979 is on show at Mariposa Gallery in Paris until 25 November 2023.
