Art and Alchemy: Perry Ogden in conversation with Grace Coddington
The National Gallery of Ireland PodcastShow Notes
A new limited series of podcasts from the National Gallery of Ireland inspired by our photography exhibitions Moment in Time: A Legacy of Photographs | Works from the Bank of America Collection, and View of Ireland: Collecting Photography.
In the final episode, renowned photographer and filmmaker Perry Ogden meets the legendary creative-director-at-large of American Vogue magazine, Grace Coddington, to discuss the magic of photography and the role it has played in Grace’s life: from her days as a model in late-50s London, to her role as a fashion editor at British Vogue and then creative director of American Vogue. Grace has collaborated with many of the great fashion and portrait photographers of the last sixty years, including Norman Parkinson, Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin, Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Peter Lindbergh and Steven Meisel, creating images for Vogue, some of which now sell at auction for high prices.
This episode was recorded on location at Grace’s apartment in New York in January 2020.

Piet Mondrian was enthralled by modernity and, across the span of his life, encountered it in some of the great cities of the world: Amsterdam, Paris, London and New York. The musical cultures of jazz and dance held particular resonance for him and so, as part of the National Gallery of Ireland's celebration of Mondrian’s work, we invited Emilie Conway, a contemporary jazz artist, to engage with this important aspect of his life and career.
