The explosive third volume in the trilogy that began with LaChapelle Land (1996) and continued with the infamous Hotel LaChapelle (1999).

David LaChapelle is one of the hottest young photographers working today. His celebrity portraits and fashion photography have been seen in Vanity Fair, Details, Paris Vogue, The Face, and The New York Times Magazine. He has photographed such celebrities as Madonna, Jim Carrey, k. d. lang, and Leonardo DiCaprio, but always with his vibrant and almost psychedelic palette. Publishers Weekly summed it up best: "Like children trashing a grownups' party, they smash the furniture, scatter the debris and smear everyone with Reddi Whip and cake frosting, giggling all the while, creating swirls of eye candy that will delight those who cherish style and equate surface and substance".

„Jauchzet, frohlocket, auf, preiset die Tage!“ Nach rund zehn Jahren wird die umfassende David-LaChapelle-Anthologie mit den Alben Good News, Part II und Lost & Found, Part I vollendet. Die Reihe begann mit LaChapelle Land (1996) und umfasst Werke, die nie zuvor in Buchform veröffentlicht wurden. LaChapelle kombiniert Zitate aus Religion, Porno sowie Kunst- und Popgeschichte zu einer einzigartigen Ästhetik und behandelt in seinen surrealen Inszenierungen Themen wie Konsum- und Körperfetischismus, Genderfragen und Spiritualität. Good News ist stark vom Sakralen geprägt und zeigt frühe Aufnahmen nackter Engel und Liebender aus den 1980er Jahren in New York bis hin zu aktuellen Bildern, die sein Refugium auf Hawaii als trippigen Garten Eden darstellen, in dem Celebrities zu Heiligen werden. Auch Beispiele aus jüngeren Werkgruppen wie Earth Laughs In Flowers oder Awakened sind enthalten, die die Vielfalt seiner Kunst widerspiegeln. Zu sehen sind unter anderem frühe Akte aus den 1980ern, Pamela Anderson, Lana Del Rey, Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, und viele andere. Lost + Found, Part I und Good News, Part II werden einzeln verkauft und sind auch als limitierte zweibändige Art Edition mit jeweils drei signierten Drucken erhältlich.
The photographs of David LaChapelle (born 1963) are among the most instantly recognizable images in contemporary photography. His über-pop color portraits of celebrities such as Cameron Diaz, Marilyn Manson and Kanye West (whom he has portrayed, respectively, as King Kong, a crossing guard and Black Jesus) have propelled his work outside the closed society of galleries and museums into a wider public arena. Thus Spoke LaChapelle is the first retrospective of the artist's work to include photographs from the mid-1980s up to the present, plus a range of work that has never previously appeared. More than an exhibition catalogue, this book presents the culmination of LaChapelle's artistic activity to date: a world in which religious iconography comes in pink latex trappings and a new surrealism explodes in the conjunction of flaming pianos, giant hamburgers, orally fixated Triceratops and Day-Glo disaster sites.

Lost + Found, Part I features: Pamela Anderson, Julian Assange, Isabella Blow, David Bowie, Naomi Campbell, Hillary Clinton, Frances Bean Cobain, Miley Cyrus, Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga.
