“This is one of Larry Clark’s most personal shows,” says actor and artist Leo Fitzpatrick, who was immortalized as the nihilistic protagonist Telly in the cult filmmaker’s 1995 debut, Kids. “It has less to do with the buying of the photos, rather to be able to sit with an artist’s archive, handle each photo as if your own and to see the outtakes and everyday photos that could be on a roll of film in any of our cameras.” Los Angeles skate punks, topless teens and the cast of Clark’s 20-year filmography feature at London’s Simon Lee Gallery—the director’s vast archive collection of unseen snapshots arrived in a wooden crate, following a similar sale at his Home Alone 2 gallery in New York earlier this year. “Of course, there’s some nostalgia for me,” says Fitzpatrick, who launched his career with Kids, alongside co-stars Chloë Sevigny and Rosario Dawson and scriptwriter Harmony Korine. “A few friends have passed away, which always makes you bummed, but what I miss the most when looking at the photos is the innocence. We were young, naive, and stupid. Those days sure were fun.” Captured between 1992 and 2010, Clark’s series curated by NOWNESS features a portrait of Mad Men actor Vincent Kartheiser on the set of the director's 1998 feature Another Day in Paradise alongside behind-the-scenes from a nude 2005 calendar shoot for Supreme. Known for his filmic portraits of America’s self-destructive youth, the sale comes as a thank you to the skate rats and teenagers central to the artist’s provocative oeuvre, allowing them to take home their own piece of his otherwise inaccessible archive.
