In 2006, to mark the centenary of Horst's birth, Hamiltons Gallery exhibited his platinum prints, publishing the limited edition book Horst. Platinum to commemorate the event. The book is beautifully produced and printed, reflecting the quality and tonality of the platinum prints.

Many of Horst's most iconic images are present, including 'Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel, 1937', 'Electric Beauty, 1939', 'Mainbocher Corset, 1939' and 'Lisa with Turban, 1940'.

‘Horst was in my opinion one of the greatest photographers of his time. He was a perfectionist in every sense of the word.’ - Tom Ford, November 2006
