Month: February 2013

April 25, 2013 — April 28, 2013

 

For the inaugural Paris Photo LA we are proud to present “History in the Taking”, an exhibition of iconic Pulitzer Prize winning and News Pictures photographs. This show, the first commercial Pulitzer exhibition of this calibre, has been assembled with much time and effort from collections, archives and dealers. The majority of prints in the show are vintage – many even wire-transmitted before they became prize-winners. Some of the prints have additional historical significance due to the ink stamps and news clippings on the back or editorial marks on the front.

 

The show includes fantastic large prints of prominent works such as Malcolm Browne’s “Burning Monk”, Robert Jackson’s infamous image of the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald and Eddie Adams’ harrowing “Execution in Saigon”.

 

The exhibition will also include the discovery of the photographic image Andy Warhol used as inspiration for an important 1950s drawing. We will show here for the first time the original drawing alongside the Pulitzer Prize winning photograph “Teen-Age Shooter” by Frank Cushing.

For AIPAD 2013 we present an exhibition of rare vintage prints portraying famous events and news stories. Some of the large-format pieces are precious art prints, others are wire-transmitted, all are extraordinary photographs of artistic, historic and cultural significance.

 

The exhibition is focused on stop-the-press pictures that have not only documented but helped to define history, including Pulitzer Prize and Picture of the Year photographs ranging from the 1930s to the 1970s.

 

The highlight of this first-of-its-kind exhibition is a series of large-format vintage prints from 1937 illustrating the tragic destruction of the Hindenburg. This event marks the first time a news picture made it nationwide into the next morning’s paper and represents an immense development in the use and significance of photo-reportage.
