MARC RIBOUD (Saint-Genis-Laval, 1923-Paris, 2016). "Young girl holding a flower", Washington, 1967. Gelatin silver. Later print. Signed and dedicated "to Patrick" in ink, in the margin. Provenance: Zwigoff collection, New York. Measurements: 25 x 36 cm (image); 31 x 40.5 cm (paper). This photograph of a young woman holding a flower in front of soldiers, taken in the context of a demonstration in Washington against the Vietnam War, is one of Marc Riboud's most celebrated images. The value of the scene, in addition to the emotional force it conveys, is the ability to universalize the message of hope in the midst of the outbreak of violence. Because, in any case, it was always the human side of conflicts that Riboud claimed in his photographs as a war correspondent. Thus, while taking photographs of the war in Vietnam and the Chinese cultural revolution, he also reflected aspects of daily life in cities such as Fez, Angkor, Shaanxi or Benares. Marc Riboud was a French photographer specialized in photojournalism who was part of the Magnum agency. At the outbreak of World War II he was fighting in the Resistance so he began his engineering studies at the École Centrale de Lyon in 1945. He learned photography in a self-taught way from the age of fifteen, using a Vest Pocket Kodak camera provided by his father. After working as an engineer, in 1952 he joined the Magnum agency, after meeting Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, where he made the most important reports of his career until 1979. His first photograph published in Life in 1953 was "Painter at the Eiffel Tower". He was among the first photographers allowed to enter China in 1957 and almost the only Westerner to report on the Vietnam War from North Vietnam. He has published numerous books and has exhibited his work in many cities. In 2003 he received the Cornell Capa Award from the Infinity Awards. There have been several retrospective exhibitions of his work such as the one held in 1997 in New York and in 2005 in Paris. Exhibitions (selection since 2010): 2010 Au jardin de Krishna Riboud, Musée national des Arts Asiatiques-Guimet, Paris. 2011 I comme Image, Maison européenne de la photo, Paris. 2012 During the Heritage Days', Saint-Genis-Laval. 2014-2015 Marc Riboud - Beginning of the century, Rhône-Alpes Regional Council. 2014 De grace un geste - Richard Anacreonte Museum of Modern Art, Granville.

WILLIAM KLEIN (New York, 1926- Paris, 2022) . "Simone + Sophia Loren, Rome," 1960. Gelatin silver print. Signed, titled, dated in pencil (on reverse). Provenance: private collection Solomon, New York. Measurements: 46 x 34.5 cm (image); 51 x 41 cm (paper). A shopkeeper holds with both hands a large cut-out poster with a life-size image of Sophia Loren. Simone looks sideways at the grande dame of Italian cinema, and behind her float a wall clock and a traffic sign. This is a sidewalk scene in which the chaotic spontaneity of human life and the calculating eye of William Klein, one of the most "cinematic" photographers of his time , coincide. William Klein was an American photographer and film director. Although he was born in New York and educated at the City College of New York, Klein's activity developed mainly 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.
