David LeventiPerchance to Dream: Royal and Noble Bedchambers

Large color photographs of the private bedchambers of kings, queens and nobles in palaces and country houses across Europe and the UK.

Leventi turns the precise, frontal approach of his opera house series to the sleeping quarters of rulers, from Louis XIV’s and Marie-Antoinette’s rooms at Versailles to Ludwig II’s at Herrenchiemsee, Chatsworth, Houghton Hall, Pavlovsk, Chenonceau and Palazzo Mansi. The prints are digital chromogenic, 50 x 40 or 60 x 50 inches.

Made over about ten years, the pictures dwell on heavy brocade, damask and velvet hangings. The gallery frames them as a counterpoint to current talk of American monarchical leanings.
