Terry O'Neill — The Vintage Collection

Zebra One Gallery mounted a retrospective of the late Terry O'Neill — the East End-born photographer who captured the twentieth century's most recognisable faces, from The Beatles and Judy Garland to Brigitte Bardot and Frank Sinatra. At the heart of the exhibition sat a unique contact sheet from O'Neill's now-legendary 1974 shoot with David Bowie, signed by both photographer and subject, alongside signed contact sheets from his shoot with Faye Dunaway the morning after she won her Academy Award for Network — an image that has become one of the defining portraits of post-Oscars exhaustion. Also on show: O'Neill's famous portrait of Bowie with Elizabeth Taylor. He remains the only photographer to have captured every actor to play James Bond and every British Prime Minister from Churchill to Brown. The show ran 15–29 September 2020.
