By Will Vogt

0 - Default Title
Description
'These Americans by Will Vogt is an escape into the delirious excesses of the USA's upper class, between 1969 and 1996. These dancing, hunting, and kissing characters are all completely unguarded in front of Vogt's camera - because he is one of them; they are his family and friends.' - Wallpaper* 'The photographs in These Americans depict the wealthy at leisure with their guard down'. - New York Magazine, Vulture 'These Americans brings together a collection of the photographer's images, which capture the wealth-flaunting spirit of Reagan's America... Drawn from Vogt's impressive archive of 70,000 images, These Americans captures glamour, grandeur and decadence of wealth in cinematic tableaux replete with a playful mix of gravitas and humour'.- AnOther Magazine For over fifty years, Will Vogt has documented the lives of his family and friends. These Americans presents an intimate portrait of American elites from 1969-1996 on vacation and at play. Private villas, exclusive clubs, racetracks, yachts and hunting lodges provide a backdrop of luxury where Vogt, the ever-present insider, captures the raw beauty and uninhibited excesses of his social circle. Jay McInerney's (Bright Lights Big City) accompanying introduction provides an insightful interpretation as he eloquently describes his impression of Vogt's images and the scenes portrayed in These Americans. "These people are living in the world that their parents and their grandparents inhabited and created. They aren't rebelling against the previous generation." ...the "images give us a sense of spying on intimate moments, which imbues them with a certain tension and mystery".
