Inez & Vinoodh retrospective
Dutch duo Inez & Vinoodh are staging a major 40‑year retrospective, 'Can Love Be a Photograph,' at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag — the show runs through Sept. 6, 2026. The survey collects their fashion‑meets‑personal imagery and arrives as the pair also shot Harper’s Bazaar’s April 2026 covers featuring Anne Hathaway in 1980s‑inflected leather looks.

The Kunstmuseum installation is presented across 18 galleries arranged thematically to map recurring motifs in the duo’s four-decade practice rather than following a strict chronology. (museemagazine.com) Early, provocative series such as Thank You Thighmaster (1993), Final Fantasy (1993) and The Forest (1995) are included, and the artists’ recurring motif “The Kiss” is foregrounded as the exhibition’s emblem of emotional and physical fusion. (museemagazine.com) The museum pairs fine-art works with the duo’s commercial output, highlighting major campaigns for Dior, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Chanel alongside portraiture of figures including Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Barack Obama, Brad Pitt and Billie Eilish. (kunstmuseum.nl) Among the newest works on view is THINK LOVE., a 2025 triptych shot on an Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max that was previewed at India Mahdavi’s Project Room #21 in Paris in November 2025. (wallpaper.com) Harper’s Bazaar U.S. April 2026 credits list the magazine’s creative team — Samira Nasr (Editor‑in‑Chief), Laura Genninger (Creative Director) and Beat Bolliger (Fashion Editor/Stylist) — with on‑set brands including Balenciaga and Saint Laurent appearing in the fashion shoot. (models.com) Kunstmuseum’s curatorial text and reviews underline the pair’s role as pioneers of digital image‑making, tracing a line from their early computer‑manipulated breakthroughs to the iPhone‑shot experiments now included in the retrospective.
