Antonio Lopez
(1943 – 1987)
When Antonio, born in Puerto Rico, was seven years old, the family migrated to New York where he upon graduation was accepted to the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). He worked for Fairchild Publications and the New York Times before he began a creative and business partnership with Juan Ramos, a friend from FIT. In the early 1960s, Antonio began to free-lance for fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, and Andy Warhol’s Interview, where his portraits of models Jerry Hall, Jessica Lange, and Grace Jones enhanced their careers. In 1969, Lopez and Ramos moved to Paris, where they remained for seven years. They were central there with designer Karl Lagerfeld in a group of models and fashion personalities and helped introduce American Pop Art to Paris. Antonio’s career took him to Paris, Tokyo, Kyoto, Milan, Sidney, Melbourne, and other international locations. His work has been in shows in American and Japanese museums, at the Musee de la Mode in the Paris Louvre and at the London Royal College of Art. http://latino.si.edu/ virtualgallery/antonio/bios.htm
