  • Penn, Irving: Twelve of the Most Photographed Models of the Period
    May. 29, 2025

    Penn, Irving: Twelve of the Most Photographed Models of the Period

    Est: €2,600 - €3,000

    Twelve of the Most Photographed Models of the Period. Silbergelatine-Abzug. 50,5 x 61,3 cm. Rückseitig in Bleistift nummeriert "14/20". 1947. Dieses berühmte Porträt von Irving Penn, aufgenommen 1947 für Vogue, zählt zu den Ikonen der Modefotografie des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Komposition vereint zwölf der meistfotografierten Models ihrer Zeit, darunter Penns spätere Ehefrau Lisa Fonssagrives, Dorian Leigh und Muriel Maxwell. Penns minimalistischer, doch akribisch konstruierter Ansatz zeigt sich in der präzisen Anordnung der Models, deren Haltungen und Gesten sorgfältig inszeniert sind. Jede von ihnen strahlt eine eigene Persönlichkeit aus - einige würdevoll und erhaben, andere nachdenklich - doch als Gruppe bilden sie eine harmonische Einheit. Diese Balance zwischen individueller Präsenz und kollektiver Komposition zeugt von Penns meisterhaftem Gespür für Bildgestaltung. Die gezeigten Outfits reichen von Abendroben bis hin zu maßgeschneiderten Ensembles und unterstreichen die zeitlose Eleganz der Mode der 1940er Jahre. Der reduzierte Studiohintergrund, frei von Ablenkungen, ist typisch für Penn - seine Fähigkeit, Form, Textur und Bewegung auf das Wesentliche zu reduzieren, hebt ihn von seinen Zeitgenossen ab. Durch sanft gerichtetes Licht modelliert er die Figuren und verleiht ihnen eine beinahe skulpturale Anmut, die an klassische Porträts erinnert. Obwohl das Bild ursprünglich für eine Modestrecke entstand, geht es weit über die kommerzielle Modefotografie hinaus. Penn stilisiert seine Models zu Ikonen - mehr als bloße Trägerinnen von Mode. Das Porträt fängt einen entscheidenden Moment in der Modegeschichte ein, als Models zu Musen wurden und Penns präzise, durchdachte Bildsprache die Modefotografie als ernstzunehmende Kunstform etablierte. - - Errata/Addenda:Die Signatur auf der Rückseite ist nicht von Irving Penn. -- Wir bitten darum, Zustandsberichte zu den Losen zu erfragen, da der Erhaltungszustand nur in Ausnahmefällen im Katalog angegeben ist. - Please ask for condition reports for individual lots, as the condition is usually not mentioned in the catalogue.

    Irving Penn Portrait of Rudolf Nureyev, Original Vintage Print

    Est: $200 - $300

    Irving Penn n.p., n.d. Irving Penn Portrait of Rudolf Nureyev, Original Vintage Print Photograph An original print of Irving Penn's candid portrait of ballet star Rudolf Nureyev, printed for and included in the textbooks for the courses he, and other acclaimed photographers, taught at the Famous Photographers School in the 1960s. The photo measures 5" x 5" b/w. On the verso appear detailed notes that provide inside information about the production techniques Penn used to capture the image such as type of camera, lens, type of film, and lighting. It is also noted as included in Lesson 10, page 4. Staple holes at top left, light wrinkling, very good. This photograph comes directly from the archive of the Famous Photographers School, founded in 1961 and directed by renowned photographer Victor Keppler. It gathered as faculty the ten most famous American photographers of its time: Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Alfred Eisenstadt, Bert Stern, Richard Beattie, Philippe Halsman, Arthur d'Arazien, Joseph Costa, Ezra Stoller, Harry Garfield and others. Margaret Bourke-White served as faculty advisor. Each photographer created works exclusively for the school textbooks, as well as illustrating the lessons with some of their most famous photographs. These prints were kept in file drawers following the dissolution of the school in the mid-seventies. The images we offer here come directly from the photographers' studios. These works are the actual prints used to create iconic images featured in issues of LIFE, Time, Vogue, and so many other publications, and created long before limited-edition portfolios with signed examples of the photographers' works were offered widely. The Famous Photographers School Archive was purchased by a Connecticut photography expert. While much of it was then acquired by the Yale University Art Gallery in 2016, the original purchaser retained a small collection, which are now offered by University Archives. Irving Penn (1917-2009) is renowned for his portraits and fashion photography for Vogue magazine, which spanned an incredible 60 years. This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
