It's not every Friday night that Bono swings by a New York gallery opening, but Anton Corbijn isn't your typical artist. The Dutch photographer has made a name for himself over the decades for his work in the music industry, and his new show at Stellan Holm's space on Madison Avenue consists of black-and-white portraits of creative types, from Richard Prince and Iggy Pop to Kate Moss and Alexander McQueen.
"A lot of relationships that started with reluctance have been very fruitful," Corbijn explained. U2 was one of them, he added, and a few minutes later, the band's front man—arriving on the scene with wife, Ali Hewson, and Helena Christensen—was there to offer his own take. "The story of our relationship with Anton is just really so much laughter—but none of it on camera," Bono said. "He had a very extraordinary eye on the music, and he photographed not the person you were, but the one you might be. In that sense, he had a lot of faith in us. I'm not sure we ever became as interesting as our pictures."
