David LaChapelle’s new muse is eco-warrior Paul Watson

Artist and photographer David LaChapelle, famed for his provocative portraits of stars including Lady Gaga and Amanda Lepore, has teamed up with a very different muse: eco-warrior Captain Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

On Sunday at Neuehouse, the duo hosted a conversation about the fragility of our oceans.

Watson was also at the opening of LaChapelle’s “Land Scape” exhibition at Paul Kasmin Gallery on Friday along with Julian Schnabel, Jeffrey Deitch, Mia Tyler, Walton Ford and others.
