About the Item

Guy with Radio, East 7th Street January 01, 1977 Vintage gelatin silver print 14 x 11 inches Arlene Gottfried was a New York City street photographer celebrated for her intimate and vibrant portrayals of life in the city’s working-class neighborhoods. Born in Brooklyn to a Jewish immigrant family, she grew up in Coney Island and Alphabet City, environments that nurtured her ability to connect with diverse communities. Introduced to photography by her father, she later studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology and worked as a photographer for publications like The New York Times Magazine, Life, and The Village Voice. Gottfried’s photography gained recognition later in life with five acclaimed books, including The Eternal Light (1999), Bacalaitos and Fireworks (2011), and Mommie: Three Generations of Women (2015), which earned Time Magazine’s Best Photobook Award in 2016. Her work is part of prestigious collections such as the Brooklyn Museum, the New York Public Library, The New York Historical, and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie. The artist exhibited internationally at venues like Paris Photo and the Smithsonian Institution. Beyond photography, Gottfried was a gospel singer with the Eternal Light Community Singers. Arlene Gottfried passed away in 2017 at age 66, leaving behind a legacy of photographs that remain a compelling record of New York City’s humanity and diversity.

Gelatin silver print Signed in pencil, verso This artwork is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City. Larry Clark first made a name for himself when he revolutionized documentary photography in his classic book “Tulsa,” released in 1971, in which he presented straightforward, autobiographical images of violence, drug use, and adolescent sexuality. While Tulsa earned Clark a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for use toward his next project, that work was delayed over a decade by the artist’s heroin addiction and a stretch in Oklahoma’s McAlester Penitentiary. Eventually, Clark completed his second and equally innovative body of work titled “Teenage Lust...

Born in Vinhedo, a small town on the outskirts of Sao Paulo, Brazil, Walter Briski, Jr. began his interests in photography at the age of thirteen. He later moved to the city of Sao Paulo to pursue his passion, and after completing his studies at the Pontificia Universidade Catolica de Campinas, he began his career as a fashion photographer working with top national magazines such as “Brazilian Vogue,” “Brazilian Interview,” and “Trip.” Soon after, Briski moved to New York City in pursuit of advancing his career. In search of strengthening his art, he learned to master the technique of black-and-white printing while employed at a highly ranked film production house. There, he printed works for artists such as Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, Gordon Parks, Matthew Barney, Steven Klein, Steven Meisel, Steven Sebring, and Ellen Von Unwerth. In the midst of printing images that were reproduced in magazines such as “Vogue,” “Harper’s Bazaar,” “W,” “L’Uomo Vogue,” “I.D.,” “Arena,” “The New York Times Magazine,” and “Interview,” he also began printing his own photographs.
