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.

FRATELLI ALINARI (19th) Circle, Turin railway station, Italy, around 1880, albumen paper print Fratelli Alinari (19th century) Circle: Bahnhof von Turin, Torino Porta Nuova, Italien, c. 1880, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Date: c. 1880 Description: Inscribed at the bottom centre of the box. Original photograph with high sharpness of detail. An early testimony of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from middle-class circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken with a great deal of time and expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site to bring back a souvenir from afar for those who stayed at home or to collect as souvenirs. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer or the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights of their home towns and went on journeys themselves to photograph the most popular destinations of their clients and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on tracings or engravings if they could not view the original for themselves. "Fratelli Alinari" in Florence are the oldest photographic company still in existence in the world: founded in 1852, a good two decades after the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce succeeded in capturing an image on a tin plate. The Alinari brothers were Romualdo (1830-1891), Leopoldo (1832-1865) and Guiseppe (1836-1892). Leopoldo began taking photographs in the daguerreotype era and worked for the lithographer Guiseppe Bardi, with whom he set up a joint photographic studio in 1850. In 1854, Leopoldo bought Bardi's shares and, together with his brothers, founded the Fratelli Alinari studio. It became one of the most important Italian studios of the 19th century and later one of the largest photo archives in the world, which still exists today.
