A major exhibition of British
photographer Dafydd Jones is to be held between October 7 and 17 at the Idea Generation Gallery on October 7th 2011.
A leading pioneer in society
photography Dafydd Jones has been photographing key art world names for the
past three decades. His social reportage is a visual record of the Art world's transformation from small and unknown gallery
launches of the nineteen eighties to the large scale celebrity haunts of the
contemporary art market.
Working in London and New York Dafydd has
witnessed the Art world change beyond recognition. From decadent aristocratic
fancy dress parties in country houses, to celebrity filled Hollywood Oscar
night parties, the Turner Prize announcement and Brick Lane's more alternative spaces, Jones has documented key figures at the most
unexpected and candid moments.
First published in Tatler,
Dafydd Jones' work has illustrated the pages of publications such as Vanity
Fair, New York Observer, The Times and The Sunday
Telegraph. Bridging the gap between attendee and paparazzi he is now an
integral part of the social scene, witnessing key moments in art for the past
thirty years including the first Frieze Art Fair and the opening of Tate
Modern.
