Color photographs by Will McBride are seldom on the art market. In 1973, McBride took a series of male nudes in Casoli, Italy but never made prints from the slide negatives. At the request of an enthusiastic collector, high quality pigment prints were made of a selection of the images in a small edition of 5 prints in 2014. The subtle colors and fine rendition of the skin's surface are extraordinary and show an undiscovered side of Will McBride's work. – A fine tonal print with strong colors and in excellent condition.

Studying later with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind at Rhode Island School of Design, he earned his Master of Fine Arts degree in photography in 1974. Over the past four decades, Minkkinen has been engaged as a teacher, curator, and writer while continuing to devote his photographic research and energies to the self-portrait: unmanipulated images of the human figure in the natural landscape. Published and exhibited worldwide, Minkkinen’s work can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, Massachusetts and the Centre Pompidou, Paris. – Traces of previous mounting on the verso, otherwise a rich tonal print in excellent condition.

2.750€ (US$ 2,957)
Photographer: Claudine Huza Marechal. Maquette (book layout) for the publication "Paris et ses accroche coeurs" of Parisian store fronts. 1950s-1960s. Circa 1600 vintage ferrotyped gelatin silver contact prints (6 x 6 cm), including circa 68 larger prints (24 x 24 cm) pasted in, many annotated in ink/pencil.
The photographs in this book maquette document an incredibly large number of unusual old stores of the postwar city, which have long disappeared. Especially the inscriptions, names and signets on the stores and house walls, as well as the street life of the 1950s and 60s, give a very charming and nostalgic impression of Paris at that time. The printed book (French edition) by photographer Claudine Huza Marechal (with the collaboration of Christian Délu, preface by Georges-Henri Rivière) was published by Editions Denoel, Paris 1971 under the title: "Paris et ses accroche coeurs". Some of Huza Marechal's photographs are in the collection of the Bibliothèque historique de la Ville de Paris. – Some photos with some creases/buckling, otherwise in good to very good condition.
