Posted on 31/10/2013 by Mimi Berlin Amsterdam

Next to the Affordable Art Fair 2013, in Amsterdam at restaurant Stork, we found THE bonus of the affordable art fair: Work on exhibit by photographer Claude Vanheye. Iconic portraits made in the previous century by Mr. Vanheye of popstars like David Bowie, Chaka Kahn, Jimmy Hendrix, Tom Waits, Mick Jagger, Bryan Ferry, John Lennon, Debby Harry and Grace Jones, but to name a few. They are for sale, limited, numbered and signed, (with spectaculair discount only during the fair). We, at Mimi Berlin, always have been fans of Claude Vanheye’s work, you can imagine we were pleased to meet him at the opening of AAF 2013.

Kate Bush in Fong Leng

Kate Bush in Fong Leng

Kate Bush was photographed by Claude Vanheye back in the seventies, they were beautiful pictures, as seen below. We were told that some of the pictures were banned because her breasts were showing. You must know that Ms Bush was under the age of twenty at that time, our guess is that these pictures were taken in 1978 when she was 19 years old and her debut song Wuthering Heights was topping the charts.

Looking at the pictures now, 35 years later they seem quite prudent, times have changed.

Thank you Mr Vintage for your knowledge.

We at Mimi Berlin held a fashion fest with vintagedeluxe outfits by Fong Leng! That’s the reason we dug into this mini history. See our finished work: Mimi Berlin’s Fashion Fest #2, 2013, HERE
