MICHEL COMTE (Zurich, Switzerland, 1954). "Carla Bruni." Photographic print. The photograph of Carla Bruni was auctioned at Christie's in 2008 causing great excitement and selling for a much higher price than expected. Measurements: 26 x 19 cm; 46 x 40 cm (frame). The image was taken by photographer Michel Comte in 1993, when Bruni was a much sought-after model. The office of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Carla Bruni's husband, declined to comment on it. A photographer specializing in portraits of female stars and supermodels, in 1978 Michel Comte began working for international fashion designers. In 1981 he moved to New York, where he began working for Vogue and Vanity Fair. Penelope Cruz, Demi Moore or Carla Bruni are some of the stars immortalized, although he has also dedicated himself to other subjects such as landscape or human rights issues. In a few years, he became one of the most sought-after fashion photographers. His work has been exhibited in important museums such as the Guggenheim in Venice, and the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.

GEORGES ROUSSE (Paris, 1947). Untitled. Barcelona, 2003. Photographic paper, copy 12/30. Signed, numbered, traced and dated by hand. Exhibited at the Carles Taché gallery, Barcelona, 2003. Size: 52 x 41 cm; 75 x 63 cm (frame). Since the early 1980s, Georges Rousse's work has been characterised by the relationships he has established between photography, painting, sculpture and architecture. The photographic language, however, is the backbone of the others, dialoguing with them and playing with spatial effects. This was seen in the exhibition held at the Carles Taché gallery in Barcelona, of which this work was part. Ever since he received a Kodak Brownie Flash as a Christmas present when he was 9 years old, the camera has never left Georges Rousse's hands. While studying medicine in Nice, he decided to learn the techniques of photography and printing from a professional, and then set up his own architectural photography studio. Increasingly, his passion led him to devote himself entirely to the artistic practice of this medium, following in the footsteps of the great American masters Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz and Ansel Adams. It was with the discovery of the works of Land art and Kasimir Malevitch's Black Square on a White Background that Georges Rousse chose to intervene in the field of photography, establishing a relationship between painting and space. He appropriates abandoned places that he has always liked, transforms them into pictorial spaces and builds there a unique and ephemeral work that only photography can reproduce. In order to allow the spectator to share his experience of Space, he has been presenting his images in large format prints since the early 1980s. This strong and singular work, which shifts the boundaries between traditional media, immediately imposed itself on the contemporary art scene. Since his first exhibition in Paris, at the Galerie de France in 1981, Georges Rousse has continued to create his installations and show his photographs all over the world, in Europe, Asia (Japan, Korea, China, Nepal), the United States, Quebec and Latin America. He has participated in numerous biennials (Paris, Venice, Sydney) and received many prestigious awards: 1983: Villa Medicis hors les murs, New York City 1985 -1987: Villa Medicis, Rome 1988: International Center of Photography Award, New York 1989: Salon de Montrouge Drawing Award 1992: Romain Roland Fellowship, Calcutta 1993: Grand Prix National de Photographie 2008: Succeeded Sol LeWitt as associate member of the Royal Belgian Academy. He is represented by several European galleries and his works are included in many important collections around the world.

DAVID HAMILTON (London, 1933-Paris, 2016). "Young woman asleep", 1974. Photography on gelatin silver. Signed and dated. Measures: 17 x 23.5 cm. In this photograph the author focuses on the model from a high perspective. He avoids portraying the face, not only because the young woman is lying face down, but also because he leaves the model's head out of the frame. By the position and the explicit eroticism, the author offers us a revision of Coulbert's "The Origin of the World". David Hamilton was a British photographer and film director known for his photographs of young women and girls, mainly nude. His style of approach was referred to as "Hamilton Blur", Hamilton's images became part of a debate about "art or pornography". Her artistic skills began to emerge during a job in an architect's office. At the age of 20, he went to Paris, where he worked as a graphic designer for Peter Knapp of Elle magazine. After achieving recognition, he was hired by Queen magazine in London as an art director. However, Hamilton soon realised his love for Paris, and after returning there he became the art director of Printemps, the city's largest department stores'. While Hamilton was still working at Printemps, he began doing commercial photography, and the dreamy, grainy style of his images was critically acclaimed. His photographs were sought after by other magazines such as Réalités, Twen and Photo. His additional successes included dozens of photographic books; five feature films; countless magazine exhibitions; and museum and gallery exhibitions. In December 1977, Images Gallery, a studio owned by Bob Persky at 11 East 57th Street in Manhattan, showed his photographs at the same time Bilitis was launched. At the time, art critic Gene Thornton wrote in The New York Times that they revealed "the kind of ideal that was regularly expressed in the great paintings of the past". In his book, Contemporary Photographers, curator Christian Caujolle wrote that Hamilton worked with only two fixed devices: "a clear pictorial intention and a latent eroticism, apparently romantic, but asking for trouble". In addition to depicting young women, Hamilton composed photographs of flowers, men, landscapes, farm animals, pigeons and still lifes of fruit. Several of his photographs resemble oil paintings. Most of his work gives an impression of timelessness due to the absence of automobiles, modern buildings and advertisements. In 1976, Denise Couttès explained Hamilton's success by saying, "(his photographs) express escapism. People can only escape the violence and cruelty of the modern world through dreams and nostalgia". His soft-focus style came back into fashion in Vogue, Elle and other fashion magazines from 2003 onwards. The photobooks she debuted on screen in Bilitis. Later, he married Gertrude, who co-designed The Age of Innocence, but they divorced amicably.Hamilton divided his time between Saint-Tropez and Paris. He had enjoyed a renaissance in popularity since 2005. In 2006, David Hamilton, a collection of captioned photographs, and Erotic Tales, containing Hamilton's fictional short stories, was published. At the time of his death, Hamilton was working on another book, Monograph of Montenegro.

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.
