  • Bassman, Lillian (1917-2012) Carmen.
    Jun. 01, 2023

    Bassman, Lillian (1917-2012) Carmen.

    Est: $1,500 - $2,500

    Bassman, Lillian (1917-2012) Carmen. New York: Harper's Bazaar, 1963; Printed, 1994. Gelatin silver print, signed and numbered on verso, print number twenty-three from an edition of thirty, 14 x 11 in. In the mid-20th century, 1940s through the 1960s, young Bassman was a fashion photographer for Harper's Bazaar and Junior Bazaar. She moved toward black-and-white images during her fashion career, and when it ended, she closed that chapter of her life and moved on to her own projects. When a bag of her old negatives was discovered in the 1990s, Bassman continued to pursue her visual interest in high-contrast, angularity, and graininess, as seen in this particular image. Originally captured by Bassman in 1963, in this iteration she plays with clarity and focus to produce something entirely different.

    LILLIAN BASSMAN Lead Female Fashion Photographer

    Est: $1,000 - $2,000

    LILLIAN BASSMAN, Barbara Mullen, Harper's Bazaar, 18323, 14.375x11.125" Gelatin silver print, Printed 1992, Signed, titled, dated, and numbered 14/25 with print date and other annotations in pencil on print verso. A stylized masterpiece by the greatest female fashion photographer of the 20th Century Lillian Bassman. Lillian Bassman (1917 - 2012) was born in Brooklyn, New York. She worked as a textile designer and fashion illustrator before working at Harper’s Bazaar in 1946. In 1949, she photographed her first Paris couture collection, which lead to her distinguished career photographing the foremost models of her day. Renowned for her innovative work in the darkroom, Bassman experimented by printing through unique materials, burning certain areas, or bleaching sections of the photograph to create images that appeared to be a cross between a watercolor and a photograph. Her photography has been featured internationally in gallery and museum exhibitions in New York, Milan, Paris, and London and is the focus of magazine articles, lectures, and books.
