Artist
In the late 1970s, Bob Recine, a musician and aspiring artist in New York City, crossed paths with Andy Warhol, a pivotal moment that significantly shaped Recine's career. Warhol's fascination with hair sparked Recine's exploration of art with hair as a central focus. Today, Bob Recine collaborates with contemporary celebrities like Lady Gaga and artists such as Vanessa Beecroft and Bjarne Melgaard. His work seamlessly blends the delicate and the bold, integrating unconventional materials like cellophane, hairclips, and plastic. This finesse is elegantly captured through collaborations with leading photographers like Mario Sorrenti, Paolo Roversi, and Helmut Newton.
