    Philippe Halsman* (Riga 1906 – 1979 New York City)

    Est: €350 - €500

    Philippe Halsman* (Riga 1906 – 1979 New York City) Mexican comedian Cantinflas, 1947 gelatin silver print 17,8 x 13,1 cm verso photographer’s stamp SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE € 350 - 500 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE € 350 Philippe Halsman was a Latvian-born photographer of the 20th century, considered one of the most influential portrait and fashion photographers of his time. He turned his childhood hobby, photography, into a profession, opening his own studio in Paris in 1931, where he quickly gained recognition for his expressive portraits and innovative fashion photography. After emigrating to the United States, he successfully established himself as a press and fashion photographer, working for leading magazines. Shortly after his arrival, he began a close collaboration with Life magazine, considered a leading publication in international photojournalism. Halsman significantly shaped the magazine's visual identity for decades, contributing an extraordinary number of iconic cover images. A total of 103 of his photographs appeared on the cover of Life—more than any other photographer—underscoring his preeminent position in magazine photography. In 1945, he was also appointed president of the American Society of Magazine Photographers. Among his best-known works is the 1947 portrait of Albert Einstein, which remains one of the most powerful photographic portraits of the scientist. Furthermore, Halsman developed an original portrait form with his so-called "Jump Pictures," in which he photographed prominent figures from politics, culture, and public life jumping. Published in 1959, these photographs aimed to break down the staged facade of his subjects and reveal spontaneous, authentic expressions. PLEASE NOTE: The purchase price consists of the highest bid plus the buyer's premium, sales tax and, if applicable, the fee of artists resale rights. In the case of normal taxation (marked ° at the estimate), a premium of 24% is added to the highest bid. The mandatory sales tax is added to the sum of the highest bid and the buyer's premium.

He soon became known for his portraits and fashion photos. Halsman immediately worked as a press and fashion photographer and was apparently so successful that the following year he got a permanent position at Life magazine, the pinnacle of photojournalism at the time. In 1945, Halsman was appointed President of the American Society of Magazine Photographers. Halsman‘s 1947 portrait of Albert Einstein is unsurpassed and still widely known today. The exceptional quality of his images is also demonstrated by the fact that Halsman delivered such good pictures for over 20 years that a total of 103 of his photos served as covers for the weekly magazine Life, more than any other photographer. His specialty was his „Jump Pictures“ of politicians and public figures, which he realized in 1959. Further artists and styles: Marilyn Monroe, Albert Einstein, Salvador Dali, Jumpology, surrealist photography PLEASE NOTE: The purchase price consists of the highest bid plus the buyer's premium, sales tax and, if applicable, the fee of artists resale rights. In the case of normal taxation (marked ° at the estimate), a premium of 24% is added to the highest bid. The mandatory sales tax is added to the sum of the highest bid and the buyer's premium. This amounts to 13% for paintings, drawings, graphic works and sculptures and 20% for photographs and all other items. The buyer's premium amounts to 28% in case of differential taxation. The sales tax is included in the differential taxation.

In 1959, LIFE magazine published sixteen examples from Philippe Halsman's series of jumping celebrities, including Richard Nixon and Robert Oppenheimer, CEOs, theologians, judges and actresses, and bouncing Marilyn Monroe graced the cover. In the captions, the photographer psychologically interpreted the various jumping styles. In Marilyn's tucked-up knees he saw, that she jumps as a child. Halsman considered it a characteristic of his time that movie queens "are basically child-women who have been raised to the level of goddesses by insecure man." * Fully Taxed * subject to resale right Deutsch Silbergelatineabzug, geprintet 1981 von Stephen Gersh auf kartonstarkem, halbmattem Papier 35,3 x 27,8 cm, in sehr gutem Zustand.

In den Bildunterschriften interpretierte der Fotograf die verschiedenen Sprungstile psychologisch. In Marilyns angezogenen Knien erkannte er Kindlichkeit.

Folio. 6 (of 10) silver gelatin prints of Marilyn Monroe, professionally matted as issued. 11 x 14 in., each with Halsman/Marilyn copyright stamp with edition limitation on verso. Original grey cloth portfolio with paper label (soiling). LIMITED EDITION, number 136 of 250 copies, SIGNED BY YVONNE HALSMAN. All photographs included in the present portfolio were shot during Halsman's famous 1952 photo shoot with Marilyn Monroe for LIFE magazine, including the cover shot which appeared on the 7 April 1952 issue. Halsman would later write of the shoot, "I drove to the outskirts of Los Angeles, where she lived in a two-room apartment. What impressed me in the living room was the obvious striving for self-improvement. I saw a photograph of Eleanora Duse and a multitude of books that I did not expect to find there, like the works of Dostoevsky, Freud, the history of Fabian socialism, etc. On the floor were two barbells.” This lot is located in Chicago.
