JEANLOUP SIEFF (Paris, 1933-2000). "Yves Saint Laurent, Paris, 1971. Gelatin silver. Signed and dated in ink (in the margin). With artist's stamp on the reverse. Provenance: private collection O'Hara New York. Measurements: 30 x 31 cm (image); 40,7 x 31 cm (paper). The photograph of Yves Saint Laurent taken by Jeanloup Sieff in Paris (1971) was taken during a period of great creativity in fashion and photography. Yves Saint Laurent was already a prominent figure in the fashion world, known for his revolutionary designs, and Sieff was already a renowned portraitist of great personalities. Jeanloup Sieff was known for his ability to capture the elegance and sensuality of his subjects. His distinctive style includes a masterful use of black and white playing with light and shadow. In this photograph, Sieff uses these techniques to highlight Saint Laurent's figure and character. By showing the designer nude, this image conveys the subject's vulnerability and his stripping of pretense, offering an intimate look at the man behind the fashion icon. Jeanloup Sieff was a French photographer, his work has been recognized for his portraits of show business personalities and politicians, but also for his reportage, landscape and nude photographs. He was born in Paris on November 30, 1933 to parents of Polish origin. His studies after high school were brief: he studied Letters for two weeks, journalism for ten days, photography at the Vaugirard School in France for a month and then in Vevey Switzerland for seven months. His love for photography made him start as an "amateur" photographer at the age of fifteen, gradually raising his photographic quality to debut as a photojournalist in 1954. A year later he joined the magazine Elle, where he first made reports and then fashion photography until he left the magazine in 1959. That year he began working for Réalités and Le Jardin des Modes. He also left the Magnum agency to work on his own. He was awarded the Niépce Prize in 1959 for photographic excellence. In 1961, he settled in New York, where he collaborated with Look, Esquire, and mainly Harper's Bazaar. He had brief stays in Europe where he worked for Twen, Vogue and Queen. In 1967, she decided to move to Paris, where she worked for Vogue, Femme, Nova and other publications. He exhibited nationally and internationally and several of his works were acquired by various museums around the world. In 1971 she received the gold medal of the museum of modern art in Skopje and that same year she donated several collections to the National Library of Paris, which at that time did not have the funds to buy photographs by French authors. The most outstanding characteristic of his work is the use of black and white, mainly wide-angle shots and his dramatic hallmarks in the laboratory. His style shows the influence of surrealism and new objectivity. His work has received international awards from Japan to the United States and is distributed in different parts of the world. Among the awards he has received are the Niépce Prize in 1959 and the Grand Prix National de Photographie in 1992. He was named Knight of the Legion of Honor.

WILLIAM KLEIN (New York, 1926- Paris, 2022) . "Model + Graffiti (photo décor)". Paris (Vogue), 1961. Gelatin silver print. Signed, titled, dated in pencil (on reverse). Provenance: Claudio Poleschi Arte Contemporanea Gallery, San Marino, Italy. Measurements: 39.5 x 30.8 cm (image). William Klein developed an innovative and experimental style in the field of fashion photography, as we see in this photograph he took in Paris in 1961 for Vogue magazine. The woman's dress partially mimics the graffiti wall through a play of light and texture. In contrast, the fine shoes and gold earrings create an interesting visual tension. Klein explores the contrast between the exclusivist glamour of fashion and the rawness of street graffiti using artistic techniques that expand the grammar of fashion photography. In the 1960s, fashion photography was dominated by polished, carefully composed images. Klein broke with these conventions by introducing a sense of spontaneity and realism. His photographic work was influenced by art, urban culture and the language of film (in whose field he also developed). Seeking the fleeting and the authentic, he took photography out of the studio and placed it in real, and often chaotic, settings. William Klein was an American photographer and film director. Although he was born in New York and educated at City College there, Klein's work was primarily in France. He had directed a number of feature films (including the 1966 film "Qui êtes-vous, Polly Maggoo" and the anti-American satire "Mr. Freedom"). In the photographic field, Klein won the Nadar Award in 1956. In 1947, while in the army, he traveled for the first time to Paris and since then lived and worked in this city, with which he fell in love. In 1948 he enrolled at the Sorbonne University, where he was a student of Fernand Léger, among others. His best known works revolve around fashion and street photography, of which he was considered one of the creators and masters. Awards: In 1988 he was awarded the culture prize of the German photography association. In 1990 he received the International Award of the Hasselblad Foundation. In 2005 he received the PhotoEspaña award. Photography books: 1956. Life Is Good & Good for You in New York: Trance witness revels, Éditions su Seul, Paris. 1959.

ROBERT MOTHERWELL (United States, 1915-United States 1991). "Samurai", 1971 Lithograph on Japan Suzuki paper. Hand signed by the artist. Label by Brooke Alexander on the back. Measurements: 200 x 160 cm; 216 x 124 cm (frame). "Samurai" is a paradigm of Motherwell's work: an aggressive black form from which explosions and slashes radiate. It is one of Motherwell's most potent images, invoking elements of sexuality in the phallic abstract form and violence through the title. Although it is difficult to decipher the traces of figuration in Motherwell's work, he was inspired by and referenced literature, life, politics. A multidisciplinary artist, he trained at Stanford and Harvard Universities in Philosophy and at Columbia University in History and Art, under the direction of Meyer Schapiro. He was one of the leading representatives of American abstract expressionism, to whose group of founders he belongs along with Pollock, Arshile Gorky and Rothko. He also excelled as an art critic. He wrote numerous articles in avant-garde magazines and edited books such as "Documents of Modern Art" (1944-1961) or "Documents of 20th Century Art" (1971). He was a member of the editorial board of the Surrealist-linked publication "VVVV", Motherwell's main objective was to show the viewer the artist's mental and physical engagement with the canvas. He used the hardness of the color black as a basic element; one of his best known techniques consisted of diluting the paint with turpentine to create a shadow effect. His series of paintings known as "Elegies to the Spanish Republic" (Elegy to the Spanish Republic) is considered his most significant project. Among his many exhibitions, we can highlight his participation in the most important surrealist exhibition in the United States organized by André Breton, Marcel Duchamp and gallery owner Sidney Janis at the Whitelaw Reid Mansion (Manhattan-1942). Also the exhibition held at the Gallery "Art of this Century" (New York) in 1943 directed by Peggy Guggenheim; in which he participated along with Jackson Pollock and Baziotes. The following year the Museum of Modern Art in New York acquired one of his works; he was subsequently included in several exhibitions at the same Museum. In 1980, Robert Motherwell had his first exhibition in Spain at the Fundación Juan March (Madrid). In 1986, he received the Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts, Spain's highest cultural award. In 1989, the National Medal of Arts of the United States, the Museum of Modern Art in Fort Worth (USA) houses the largest collection of works by Motherwell. In the Empire State Plaza (New York) you can also find some of his works. The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis, USA) has an almost exhaustive collection of his prints. In addition to the representation in numerous museums, public and private collections and in the most prestigious galleries around the world.
