David LaChapelle at Paul Kasmin Gallery

Energy drinks, green tea tins and more consumer packaging form the basis of semi-retired fashion photography icon David LaChapelle’s latest series, ‘Refineries.’  Working with professional model builders, LaChapelle makes our consumption of fossil fuels – and the materials create from them – personal.  (At Chelsea’s Paul Kasmin Gallery through March 1st.)
