Another Royal Residence is the intriguing title Karl Lagerfeld gave to this collection of 14 photos—but which residence is he referring to? Lagerfeld focuses on architectural and landscape details—balustrades, steps, sculptures and urns; palms, hedges, paths and ponds—many of which in bold, almost abstract croppings that themselves do not declare a specific location. Only two images help to solve this riddle: in them a fragment of a glorious facade peaks over a wall as it is almost engulfed by a cloud-filled sky—the facade of none less than the Palace of Versailles.
