Artist Biography

Eric David Kroll: A Photographer's Journey Through Surrealism and Sensuality

Eric David Kroll (born October 23, 1946) stands as a singular figure in contemporary photography, recognized for his distinctive blend of fetishistic exploration and meticulous documentation. Born in New York City, Kroll’s artistic trajectory began in Taos, New Mexico, where he partnered with Sam Bruskin to establish a gallery in 1969—a formative experience that instilled within him an enduring fascination with visual storytelling and the power of image-making. This early collaboration foreshadowed his lifelong dedication to capturing moments of profound beauty and unsettling truth.
  • Early Career & Photographic Style: Kroll’s photographic style evolved from initial explorations in New Mexico's landscape—particularly evident in “Soozie in New Mexico,” a haunting black-and-white portrait that encapsulates isolation within crumbling adobe walls—to a more expansive engagement with fashion, music, and film. His work consistently prioritized capturing raw emotion and psychological nuance.
  • Journalistic Pursuits & Iconic Collaborations: From 1971 to 1994, Kroll honed his skills as a journalist photographer for publications like Elle, Vogue, The New York Times, and Der Spiegel. He gained renown for documenting celebrity encounters and artistic performances, notably photographing Madonna, Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Korean video artist Nam June Paik—artists whose visions profoundly impacted the cultural landscape of their time.

The Influence of Surrealism & The “Sex Objects” Project

Kroll’s artistic sensibilities were deeply shaped by Surrealist principles, evident in his meticulous attention to detail and his willingness to confront uncomfortable realities. This influence is powerfully conveyed in "Sex Objects," published in 1976 with a grant from the New York State Council of the Arts—a groundbreaking project that challenged societal norms surrounding sexuality and labor. The book’s controversial imagery sparked considerable debate and garnered significant acclaim, securing Richard Prince's endorsement for an artwork based on one of its photographs, which sold for approximately $2 million.

Taschen Collaborations & Expanding Horizons

Beginning in 1993, Kroll embarked on a fruitful partnership with Benedikt Taschen—a collaboration that spanned until 2007 and cemented his position as a leading figure in the Taschen publishing house. Together, they curated “Fetish Girls” and “Beauty Parade,” collections that showcased Kroll’s artistic vision and solidified his reputation as an astute historian of erotic art. His work continues to explore themes of desire, vulnerability, and perception—often presented with striking visual clarity and emotional resonance.

Legacy & Recognition

Eric Kroll's contribution to photography extends beyond individual artworks; he has fostered a dialogue about representation and artistic expression. His enduring influence is palpable in the continuing fascination with his photographic oeuvre, particularly “Fetish Girls,” which remains one of Taschen’s best-selling books—a testament to his ability to provoke contemplation and capture the essence of human experience. Kroll's work stands as an important record of a specific era and continues to inspire artists today.
