By Catherine D. Anspon. Photography Johnny Than. David Yarrow C ASA Houston turned into a white cube when acclaimed UK photographer David Yarrow made a personal appearance. The occasion inaugurated European home design destination CASA Houston's first exhibition with Samuel Lynne Galleries, Dallas. CASA Houston's Jerry Hooker and Samuel Lynne Galleries' JD Miller served as hosts, joined by respective directors Mackenzie Cash and Kristin Rivas. Yarrow boasts big-name and well- heeled collectors and celeb pals who vie for iconic images such as Wolves of Wall Street, which sold at Art Miami in 2019 for $200,000. The evening, which drew an enthusiastic crowd of art and design denizens and Yarrow collectors, marked the Houston debut for the photographer/artist, as he presented his latest series — one that resonated with the audience. "Changing Lanes," staged against the panorama of the great American West, including locales in Texas. A highlight was an artist talk, where Yarrow opened up about his inspirations and philosophy, telling the moderator (yours truly) that "the most enduring symbol of America is the cowboy" and that "one of the greatest stories ever told is the push west in America." The evening wrapped as a long line queued up to acquire Yarrow's latest volume, a hefty, handsome Rizzoli release, David Yarrow Photography: Americas Africa Antarctica Arctic Asia Europe. Not every photographer has Tom Brady pen the foreword and Cindy Crawford write the afterword. The artist is donating all royalties from the book to fund two conservation causes: Tusk in the United Kingdom and WildAid in the United States. In the social lens: Marnie Greenwood, Gigi Huang, architect Ben Koush and Luis de las Cuevas, Kara and Ray Childress, Sutton Fannon, Dr. Mary Ann Reynolds- Wilkins, Patricia Reed, Peter Doyle, Rottet Studio's Melody Faircloth and Laurence Cartledge, Vince Flickinger with Gensler, Karen and Will Stolz, Alex Stolz, Vesna Miller, Carson Brown, LeTricia Wilbanks, Dustan Gawthorp, Amanda Lodge, John Rutherford, and Veronica and Alfonso Zaza.
