In a coup that feels inevitable yet electric, IFAC Arts is proud to announce its representation of Markus Klinko—one of the defining image-makers of our time.
For over three decades, the Swiss-born virtuoso has turned his lens on the gods and goddesses of pop culture, forging portraits that don’t just capture stars—they immortalize them. Beyoncé in full Dangerously in Love glory. David Bowie as the smoking, messianic Heathen. Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Britney, Kelis, Pharrell, Naomi, Iman—the list reads like a greatest-hits of the 21st century. His signature alchemy of unexpected light, razor-sharp movement, and cinematic swagger has produced album covers that became cultural landmarks and editorial spreads that stopped the scroll before the scroll even existed.
Trained as a classical harp soloist at Paris Conservatoire before a hand injury rewrote his destiny, Klinko didn’t just switch instruments—he rewired the entire orchestra. Discovered by the legendary Isabella Blow and Ingrid Sischy, he went from shooting Interview covers to raising over $1 million for Keep A Child Alive in a single campaign. His work lives in the National Portrait Gallery, Lincoln Center, and the permanent collections of those who understand that a single frame can outlive empires.
Now the entire Markus Klinko catalog—iconic limited editions, never-before-seen variants, fresh 2025 captures—lives at IFAC Arts. From intimate 24×24 prints to commanding 60×60 museum pieces, every image is hand-signed, meticulously printed on Fujicolor Crystal Archive Digital Pearl, and ready to claim its wall.
This isn’t just new representation. It’s the reunion of a master provocateur with a gallery that knows how to make photographs feel like events.
Welcome to the next chapter.
