Rankin Retrospective
THIS ARCHIVED EVENT ENDED ON THE 18TH SEPTEMBER 2009
Nearby Rankin Retrospective

Rankin has worked with everyone from Kate Moss to the Queen and at the Rankin Retrospective you can see more than 600 of his photographic portraits. This extensive exhibition at the Truman Brewery is the first time his work has ever been given a retrospective in the UK. Running in parallel and at the same Brick Lane location is Shoot Me, Rankin!, both part of Rankin Live! - and one ticket gets you in to both exhibitions. The retrospective part looks back at Rankin's celebrity clients, charity campaigns and fashion shoots as well as more personal family portraits - his fiance Tuuli is his muse in many. Alongside are images from the Dazed & Confused days, Brit-pop bands including Pulp and Blur, and the man who aimed to associate himself with the whole 'Cool Britania' movement in the nineties, Tony Blair. Seeing so many of his iconic images in one place, Rankin commented, "this is one of the most exciting stages in my journey as a photographer". Expect a celeb-packed private view party.About The Old Truman Brewery
Popular with the Shoreditch crowd on the weekends, The Old Truman Brewery houses more than 200 small, creative businesses, a bar and several areas for hire. It encompasses 19 buildings, linked by a series of alleyways and courtyards, but the main area - the Boiler House - is easily identified by its 49-metre chimneystack with 'Truman' written up the side.
