WWD | Interview with Sarah Moon

Women's Wear Daily

Having worked with Howard Greenberg for years, Moon said she was happy to oblige the request for a show, provided it would not be solely about fashion . “That’s the way I work. I do fashion, but I also do other things. For me, it’s linked with the work,” she said.

Bowing Saturday and on view through April 6, “Sarah Moon: On Edge” features 30 images that dreamily span four decades of work. Ethereal photos of fashion from Dior, Hussein Chalayan, Yohji Yamamoto and others are interspersed with painterly black-and-white shots such as the shadow on a New York City skyscraper, someone she worked with carrying a pole on a tightrope with a bar in hand, and an abstract take on The Eye in London, which conceals the ferris wheel tourist attraction that it is. An overhead shot of the lower half of a woman lying in the grass in a long skirt and patterned stockings is mirrored by the lily pad nearby. “That was a fashion photo. I was supposed to photograph a hat, but then I saw her legs,” Moon said.
