  • Herman Leonard, American 1923-2010, active New Orleans, 1992-2005, “Louis & Duke with Friends, Paris, 1960”, archival pigment print
    Oct. 23, 2025

    Herman Leonard, American 1923-2010, active New Orleans, 1992-2005, “Louis & Duke with Friends, Paris, 1960”, archival pigment print

    Est: $1,000 - $1,500

    Herman Leonard American, 1923-2010, active New Orleans, 1992-2005 "Louis & Duke with Friends, Paris, 1960" archival pigment print negative creation date 1960, later print, signed, titled, dated and numbered "15/50" lower margin, inscribed "DKE/LSA03 13190" and "HL-25776" en verso, unframed. Note: Quincy Jones once said, "When people think of jazz, their mental picture is likely one of Herman's." Beginning in New York City, Herman Leonard documented the post-war rise of American jazz music, then moving to Paris, and later landing in New Orleans. He photographed "Louis & Duke with Friends, Paris, 1960" while on the set of Paris Blues (directed by Martin Ritt), a film that showcased Parisians' love for American jazz musicians. This charismatic image recreated as an archival pigment print invites the viewer to share in the revelry with jazz royalty Louis Armstrong (1901-1971) and Duke Ellington (1899-1974). Photographed from an intimate audience perspective, we see the arms of elegantly-gloved ladies – including those of Diahann Carroll, who portrayed Lillian in the film – salute the musicians with glasses raised in a fabulous toast. Leonard's photographs have been exhibited profusely and are included in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution, National Portrait Gallery, and National Museum of African American History, among others. Herman Leonard's archives are held at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans, and his estate is represented by A Gallery for Fine Photography.

    Herman Leonard, American 1923-2010, active New Orleans, 1992-2005, “Billie Holiday, NYC, 1949”, gelatin silver print

    Est: $1,000 - $1,500

    Herman Leonard American, 1923-2010, active New Orleans, 1992-2005 "Billie Holiday, NYC, 1949" gelatin silver print negative creation date 1949, later print, signed, titled and dated lower margin, inscribed "BLH03 12559" and "HL-24552" en verso, unframed. Note: "Billie Holiday, NYC, 1949" presents "Lady Day" early in the post-war peak of jazz in New York where Herman Leonard had just one year earlier established his first photography studio in Greenwich Village. Reciprocating photographs in exchange for entry to a growing scene of jazz clubs, Leonard's lens helped define how some of the century's greatest performers were known and eventually mythologized. His photographs would be employed as covers on some 200-plus albums. This photograph graces the cover of Jazz, Giants and Journeys: The Photography of Herman Leonard, the monograph for his exhibition at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in 2006, a year after Hurricane Katrina nearly destroyed his archives. Billie Holiday (1915-1959) sang about the human experience from love to profound injustice. In this photograph, Holiday's smooth countenance and dramatic zigzags of smoke plumes are captured by Leonard's quick eye in a dynamic layout. The silent soundtrack to this iconic photograph comes through in compelling shadow and gesture; Leonard captures the singer as storyteller, poised to finish the tale.
