About the Item

Roxanne Lowit’s photograph of Amanda Lepore, taken in New York in 1998, is a fearless celebration of nightlife, performance, and radical self-invention — themes that defined the city’s underground cultural scene at the end of the twentieth century. Captured with Lowit’s unmistakable blend of intimacy and spectacle, the image transforms a provocative party moment into an iconic work of limited edition fine art photography. Amanda Lepore, one of nightlife’s most recognizable and enduring figures, became an international symbol of glamour, excess, and transformation through her collaborations with artists and photographers including David LaChapelle and Roxanne Lowit. A legendary presence within New York’s club culture, Lepore embodied the theatrical energy and liberated spirit that Lowit documented throughout her career. Photographed in stark black and white, the image captures the raw immediacy and uninhibited atmosphere of New York nightlife in the late 1990s. Amanda Lepore appears simultaneously sculptural, performative, and vulnerable — balancing camp glamour with the confrontational elegance that made her an icon of alternative fashion culture. The oversized champagne bottle, dramatic pose, and charged crowd surrounding her create a composition that feels spontaneous yet almost impossibly cinematic. By 1998, New York nightlife had become a powerful intersection of fashion, art, celebrity, and performance, and Roxanne Lowit stood at the center of this world with unparalleled access. Her photographs moved beyond traditional celebrity portraiture, documenting the personalities and cultural figures shaping the visual identity of an era. Known for pioneering backstage and behind-the-scenes photography, Lowit brought the same instinct for authenticity and theatricality to the city’s nightlife scene. More than documentary photography, this work stands as a collectible limited edition fine art photograph that captures an entire cultural moment — where nightlife, fashion, identity, and performance merged into a new form of modern mythology. Provocative, glamorous, and unapologetically bold, the image exemplifies Roxanne Lowit’s extraordinary ability to transform fleeting moments into enduring visual icons. This artwork is offered as a limited edition of 20, fine art print and is accompanied by an estate-signed certificate of authenticity. Framing can be organized by the gallery, and collectors are warmly invited to contact the gallery to discuss available sizes, framing options, and worldwide shipping. With more than 15 years of experience placing important photographic works in private collections internationally, the gallery is pleased to provide tailored guidance for each acquisition.

Roxanne Lowit

Photographer Roxanne Lowit was at the forefront of recording modern culture for more than four decades. With her camera, she captured the grit within the glamor, bringing out the truest essence of each subject.

Lowit had no formal training in photography. She graduated from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology with a degree in art history and textile design. She had a successful career as a designer, but also had a penchant for painting. Many people offered to sit for her paintings, but her busy schedule did not allow for lengthy sessions. Instead, she would take photographs to use as references when she had time to work on her art.

She enjoyed the instant gratification of producing an image through the lens. She began her photography practice in earnest at New York fashion shows, taking pictures of her own designs. Soon, models such as Jerry Hall were inviting her backstage to the shows. Her behind-the-scenes shots catapulted her into icon status in the fashion industry.

She later expanded her focus beyond fashion. Throughout her illustrious career, Lowit photographed world-famous cultural figures, like American Pop artist Andy Warhol, Spanish Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí and American singer Madonna.

Many prestigious venues have displayed Lowit’s work, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Andy Warhol Museum. Her work is part of the permanent collection of Japan’s Kobe Fashion Museum.

The American, French, German and Italian editions of Vogue all included Lowit’s photographs on their pages, as did many other notable publications, including GQ and Vanity Fair. Lowit produced advertising work for many major companies, including Armani, De Beers and Land Rover. Lowit published four books of her photography, including Roxanne Lowit Photographs Yves Saint Laurent in 2014. She died in 2022.
