The Essence of Dali

By Salvador Dali and Philippe Halsman

Located in Buffalo, NY

The work offered for sale here is an original vintage silver gelatin print hand created by Halsman hand signed and exhibited at the International Center for Photography. Philippe Halsman was at one point considered the best photo-portraitist in France. He had an incessant interest in faces: “Every face I see seems to hide—and sometimes fleetingly reveal—the mystery of another human being.” Halsman’s photographs of politicians, celebrities, and intellectuals were featured widely in magazines like LIFE and Vogue. His more famous subjects included the likes of Marc Chagall, Le Corbusier, Audrey Hepburn, and Albert Einstein. He also had a 37-year collaboration with Salvador Dalí, which resulted in several famous surrealist series including the “Dalí’s Mustache” portraits...

Milton Greene, "05" from The Pekingese Dog Sitting

By Milton Greene

Located in Chatsworth, CA

This piece is a pigment print from the original negative, shot by Milton Greene in 1955. This photograph of Marilyn Monroe is from a photoshoot which became known as "The Pekingese Dog Sitting" because Marilyn was accompanied by her hair stylist's dog during other photographs from the same series. Marilyn was shot in a gorgeous Bill Blass gown which became an integral part of the series. This black gown juxtaposed with the stark red background make these photographs hard to forget. These photographs were seen for the first time in 2013 after being locked away and unpublished for over 50 years until Andrew Weiss Gallery...

Audrey Hepburn, Times Square

Audrey Hepburn, Times Square

By Lawrence Fried

Located in Greenwich, CT

Edition of 25 Larry, as he was known throughout the industry, was an award-winning photojournalist, who covered the political, social, and artistic events of his time for top publications such as Look, Life, The New York Times, Newsweek, The Saturday Evening Post, Vogue, Collier’s, and Parade Magazine. Fried became interested in photography while serving as a platoon sergeant with the First Infantry Division during World War II. He made a pinhole camera with a matchbox, and would shoot through the tank turret. Fried photographed the battle action and was surprised to learn they were sold to a wire service. His first published pictures were in Stars and Stripes. Influenced by wartime imagery, he returned to the States and went to the University of Miami on the GI Bill while working as a theatrical director and photographer.
 He returned to his native New York City where he immersed himself in the theatrical world, shooting for PIX, Inc, the legendary photo-rep agency with friends such as George Karger...
