  • The Museum of Modern Art Dedicates Erna and Victor Hasselblad Photography Study Center
    )** The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART DEDICATES ERNA AND VICTOR HASSELBLAD PHOTOGRAPHY STUDY CENTER October 21, 1985, New York King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Officers of the Museum and of the Erna and Victor Hasselblad Foundation, and members of the Museum's Trustee Committee for Photography today were among the guests at the formal dedication of the Erna and Victor Hasselblad Photography Study Center. "Today...is an important day for Sweden and for the Hasselblad Foundation," said Alf Akerman, chairman of the Board of the Hasselblad Foundation. "A new channel has been formed for contacts and a cultural gate has been opened which we hope will be of importance for further development of good relations between our countries." William S. Paley, chairman of the Board of Trustees, The Museum of Modern Art, stated, "We are both grateful and proud that the Hasselblad Foundation has made this extraordinary gift. We are grateful for what it enables our Study Center to do. We are proud of the international recognition it represents. And we are also proud that our Study Center now bears so distinguished a name." Although the Department of Photography has maintained a study center since 1964, its greatly expanded new facility is named in honor of the Hasselblads, as a gesture of gratitude to the Foundation that bears their names. An unprecedented gift from the Foundation will enable the Department of Photography to sustain and expand its capacity for sharing its rare resources and research materials with the larger photography community. John Szarkowski, director of the Department of Photography, has described this community as "an international audience, transcending national or regional perspectives." Since the Department of Photography first made its collection, library, and supporting archives available to the public for study, it has devoted an increasing amount of thought and attention to its study center.

  • The Photograph Collector Information, Opinion, and Advice for Collectors, Curators, and Dealers N E W S L T R
    THE PHOTOGRAPH COLLECTOR INFORMATION, OPINION, AND ADVICE FOR COLLECTORS, CURATORS, AND DEALERS N E W S L T R Volume XLI, Nos. 7 & 8 Summer 2020 AUCTION REPORTS AND PREVIEWS IN THE AGE OF COVID-19 by Stephen Perloff Edward Burtynsky: Colorado River Delta #2, Near San Felipe, Baja, Mexico, 2011 ($15,000–$25,000) sold well above estimate for $52,500 at Christie’s, New York City. SPRING AUCTION REPORT continued Peter Beard: But past who can recall or done undo (Paradise Lost), 1977 ($70,000–$100,000) found a buyer at $118,750 at Christie’s, New York City. Christie’s online Photographs sale ending June 3 totaled $2,422,125 with a 50% buy-in rate. There were a few good results, but overall this must have been a disappointment to both Chris- tie’s and its consignors. In these unprecedented times this is not a reflection of just Christie’s, but a sober reflection on the state of the photography market. Clearly safe bets like Irving Penn and Peter Beard were at the top of the heap, but at prices well below the highs of just a year or two ago. Still, it is heartening to see that Penn’s Small Trades series is getting the recognition that his other series have had. The top ten were: • Peter Beard: But past who can recall or done undo (Paradise Lost), 1977 ($70,000– $100,000) at $118,750 • Irving Penn: Rag and Bone Man, London, 1951 ($40,000–$60,000) at $106,250 Irving Penn: Rag and Bone Man, London, 1951 IN THIS ISSUE ($40,000–$60,000) collected a bid of $106,250 at Christie’s, New York City.

  • Press Klein.Pages
    Platinum by William Klein Opening week: Saturday, May 8th, from 2 to 6 pm Show: May 11th - July 10th 2021 ____________________________ FIFTY ONE TOO is pleased to present a series of 9 platinum prints by the influential American photographer, filmmaker, graphic designer and painter William Klein (born in 1928 in the US, lives and works in Paris, France). The exhibition features some of the most well known images that this ‘enfant terrible of photography’ made in commission for Vogue magazine in the 1950s and 60s and that are now considered a milestone in fashion photography. The platinum printing process – known for its exceptional quality, durability and beauty – gives these legendary photographs an unprecedented depth, sharpness and tonal range, spectacular to discover in person. William Klein is best known for his primitive style of photography that ignored all conventions. His self- proclaimed ‘fotografia povera’ made a trademark out of graininess, blur, distortion, sharp contrasts and unexpected points of view. The movement, immediacy and acceptance of accident in Klein’s snapshot-like images, stand in sharp contrast with the rigid fashion photography of the 1950s and 60s with its mainly studio-based way of working. However, in 1954, Klein would accidentally end up as a fashion photographer when he was approached by art director at Vogue, Alexander Liberman. Liberman agreed to finance his planned photographic portrait of his hometown New York, with the intention to publish a portfolio in the magazine. Although the images would never make it into the pages of Vogue - they instead evolved into the iconic publication ‘Life is good for you and good for you in New York: Trance Witness Revels’ - Klein returned to France with a contract for a loosely- defined position at the magazine’s art department.

  • FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY Nancy Hall-Duncan
    FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY Nancy Hall-Duncan A fashion photograph is, simply, a photograph made specifically to show (or, in some cases, to allude to) clothing or accessories, usually with the intent of documenting or selling the fashion. Photographs of fashionable dress, in existence since the invention of photography in 1839, are not fashion photography. The distinguishing feature—and the common denominator in the enormous diversity of style, approach, and content—is the fashion photograph’s intent to convey fashion or a “fashionable" lifestyle. At the end of the twentieth century, the Calvin Klein advertisement featuring only Calvin’s portrait changed the very definition of a fashion photograph from a picture of the featured clothing to the selling of a glamorous lifestyle identified with a specific logo. Fashion photography has sometimes been called ephemeral, commercial, and frivolous, and its importance has been called into question. That fashion photography has a commercial intent implies to some that it lacks photographic and artistic integrity. In reality, it has produced some of the most creative, interesting, and socially revealing documents and revealed the attitudes, conventions, aspirations, and taste of the time. It also reflects women’s image of themselves, including their dreams and desires, self-image, values, sexuality, and interests. The psychology behind a fashion photograph as a selling device is the viewer’s willingness to believe in it. No matter how artificial the setting, a fashion photograph must persuade individuals that if they wear these clothes, use this product, or accessorize in such a way, the reality of the photograph will be theirs. The fashion photograph can offer a vision of a certain lifestyle (from glamorous to grunge), sex, or social acceptance (via the most current, the most expensive, or the most highly unattainable), but it is the viewer’s buy-in that makes the photograph successful.

  • Major Irving Penn Retrospective to Open at the Museum of Modern Art on September 13
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART, NEW YORK SEPTEMBER 13-NOVEMBER 27,1984 ~" No.22 For Immediate Release MAJOR IRVING PENN RETROSPECTIVE TO OPEN AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ON SEPTEMBER 13 The first major retrospective of the work of Irving Penn in more than twenty years will open at The Museum of Modern Art on September 13, 1984. The exhibition surveys Penn's long career, spanning the past four decades, and features his work in portraiture, fashion, advertising, the nude, ethnographic subjects and still life, as well as a selection of Penn's early, unpublished photographs. Con­ sisting of approximately 200 color and black and white photographs, the exhibition is being organized by John Szarkowski, Director of the Department of Photography at The Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from SCM Corporation, with additional support provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. IRVING PENN is the sixth exhibition SCM Corporation has sponsored at The Museum of Modern Art in the past decade. Irving Penn has long been recognized as one of the world's most distinguished practitioners of editorial, advertising and fashion photography. Since his photographs first began to appear regularly in Vogue magazine in the 1940s, his work has been charac­ terized by a technical elegance, a demanding standard of style, and a sensitivity to the quality of light that have influenced a generation of photographers. Born in 1917 in Plainfield, New Jersey, Penn studied design at the Phila­ delphia Museum School of Art from 1934 until 1938. For the next three years he worked as a graphic designer in New York, followed by a year spent painting in Mexico.

  • Wall Text for Irving Penn
    Irving Penn: Beyond Beauty Exhibition Wall Text Irving Penn (1917–2009) was one of the twentieth century’s most prolific and influential photographers of fashion and the famous. His pictures, a unique blend of classical elegance and formal innovation, were widely seen in print during his long career at Vogue magazine. His achievement, however, extends beyond conventional notions of depicting beauty or fame to include a radical reconsideration of how we understand fashion and art, both separately and in relation to each other. A courtly man whose polite demeanor masked an intense perfectionism, Penn adopted a workmanlike approach to making pictures, what his friend and Vogue art director Alexander Liberman called “Penn’s American instincts.” Schooled in painting and design, Penn later chose photography as his life’s work, scraping the paint off his early canvases so they could serve a more useful life as tablecloths or as backdrops for his photographs. But his commitment to making art remained in force throughout the seven decades of his active career. This exhibition, the first retrospective museum survey to be organized since the artist’s death, describes the full arc of Penn’s photography from his early, surrealist-influenced work to the modernist icons for which he is best known and the iconoclastic late work that simultaneously incorporates and renounces fashion. The prints were selected from The Irving Penn Foundation archives and are a gift from the Foundation to the Smithsonian American Art Museum and to the American people.
