GEORGES ROUSSE (Paris, 1947). "Luxembourg: Fers à Bétons", 2004. Print on aluminum, copy 1/5. Signed and titled on verso. Label with stamp on the back. Measurements: 160 x 125 cm; 165 x 132 cm (frame). Georges Rousse's work is characterized, since the beginning of the eighties, by the relationships he establishes between photography, painting, sculpture and architecture. His interest in abandoned, dismantled and ruined places, as well as in what these spaces reveal about the culture that has generated them, led him, in 1986, to settle for a time in the former Van Gogh psychiatric hospital in the French town of Arles. The result of this stay was the Arles series, which was the starting point of the MACBA exhibition. His work is a very significant example of the importance that photography achieved throughout the eighties and further proof of the value of the photographic device as a tool for contemporary creation. Collapsing the usual restrictions among artistic media, his unique work quickly made its mark on the contemporary art world. 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, in Asia (Japan, Korea, China, Nepal), in the United States, in Quebec and in 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: Drawing Prize Salon de Montrouge 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.

LEWIS MORLEY (Hong Kong, 1925-Sidney, 2013). "Christine Keeler," 1963. Gelatin silver. Signed, titled and dated in ink (in the margin). Provenance: Bennett Private Collection, New York. Measurements: 31.5 x 25 cm (image); 36 x 28.9 cm (paper). After cabaret performer and dancer Christine Keeler had an affair with a minister in Harold Macmillan's government, which brought the Conservative Party into disrepute in what became known as the Profumo affair, she was called to do a photo shoot at Lewis Morley's studio. The events took place because a film production company intended to make a movie about the scandal and needed some publicity photographs. Although Keeler had initially agreed to be photographed nude, when she arrived at the studio she was reluctant to do so. For this reason, Lewis Morley began the photo shoot by capturing the model with her clothes on, but the film company's representatives insisted that she pose nude. The photographer, sensing Keeler's discomfort, had the others present leave and, turning his back to her while Keeler undressed, suggested that she pose on the studio chair placed upside down. Lewis Morley began his career with assignments for magazines such as Tatler and was a successful theater photographer for over 100 West End productions. His publicity photographs for Beyond The Fringe magazine (1961) included a study of the cast Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Alan Bennett and Jonathan Miller, which was used for the cover of the show's best-selling LP. In 1971 he moved to Sydney, where he worked on magazines such as Belle and with interior designers and stylists such as Babette Hayes and Charmaine Solomon. In 1989 he collaborated with photography curator Terence Pepper in staging his first museum retrospective at the National Portrait Gallery in London and subsequently donated all the images printed for the exhibition as part of a larger archive of his work. His first autobiography, Black and White Lies, was published in 1992. In 2003, a film about his life was released and an exhibition entitled Myself and Eye was held at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra. In 2006, the Art Gallery of New South Wales presented a comprehensive exhibition showcasing 50 years of his work. Entitled Lewis Morley: 50 Years of Photography, the exhibition included 150 of his works spanning fashion, theater and reportage, many of which had never been seen before. After his death his archive was subsequently donated to the National Media Museum in Bradford, England.
