Artist's info:
Born in Brooklyn, Nat Finkelstein (1933-2009) studied photography under Alexey Brodovitch, the legendary art director of Harper's Bazaar, and worked as a photojournalist for the Black Star and PIX photo agencies, reporting primarily on the political developments of various subcultures in New York City in the 1960s.
In 1964 Finkelstein entered Andy Warhol's Factory as a photojournalist and remained for three years; Finkelstein's photographs from this period are now regarded as some of the most iconic of the time.

Images include the Velvet Underground, Edie Sedgwick and Nico.
All photographs (ca. 27 x 18 cm) were digitally printed by the artist on A4 size sheets in his New York workshop, September 2001 (!), they come fully titled, numbered and SIGNED BY NAT FINKELSTEIN, who also wrote a short preface (*).
Mint, in a finely hand-crafted 38 x 32 cm silver-lettered black cloth-covered box, stylishly lined with black VELVET.

(*) I am a situational photographer. I sell souls, not schmatas; feelings, not ideas.
These unposed images were made when Andy Warhol et al were people, not products; young artists, not celebratees.
Enjoy, but don’t venerate. - Nat Finkelstein, N.Y.C. 2001

The cover image was just one of those perfect moments when everything came together. The frame before it and the frame after it aren't great, but for that one moment, everybody looked right - exactly like The Ramones.

Original edition of the first of a range of celebrated books by Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken (1950-1954).
Copy from the former library of Flemish author HUGO CLAUS (1929-2008) with damaged but complete dustjacket, placed in (recently made) black cloth clamshell box with silver lettering on front and spine.
The caption of the first chapter reads “Ik kom in Saint Germain des Prés”, right above this text Claus wrote by hand (undated, but January 1997):
“Nog altijd kom ik er en denk aan de gouden tijd / Hugo Claus”
(vdE: I come into Saint Germain des Prés / HC: I still come there and think about the golden times)
NB: Both Claus and Van der Elsken lived in Paris in the early 1950’s, there is no information about any meetings that may have occured. Some of Claus texts, however, were included in Van der Elsken’s famous book JAZZ (1959), later on the two artists would collaborate on several occasions.
Very early work on Emiel Van Moerkerken (1916-1995), with many plates (portraits, street scenes, surrealism, etc.), proofing the diversity of this still highly under-estimated Dutch photographer.
Moreover, this 1947 publiation was the first survey of a single Dutch photographer's work ever published.
Fine copy with some damage to the vulnerable dustjacket.
Original photograph, professionally pasted on a piece of cardboard: the original FULL SCALE MODEL for the printing process of Van Moerkerken's famous book Reportages in Licht en Schaduw (1947, see item above), where it shows the caption Rue Gracieuse Paris, 1937.
This rare, genuine vintage item is still in superb condition.
Original silverprint showing a 1958 image of twin sisters.
The photograph was personally printed in 1986 by Van Moerkerken, his signature and pencil annotations are on the back.
The girls pictured are Yvonne and Georgette Apol.
Earlier images of them were published in 1955: Joan van der Keuken included several photographs of the sisters in his famous work WIJ ZIJN 17 (WE ARE 17, see Parr/Badger Vol 1, page 244), although at the time the girls hadn't reached that age yet.
Yvonne and Georgette (one of them was married with Van der Keuken for a short period) were immortalized by means of the classic ACHTER GLAS, another fine work by Van der Keuken, published in 1956 (see Parr/Badger Vol 1, page 244).
Van Moerkerken captured the sisters at the more mature age of 18 and had them put - nameless - in his book Meisjes van Nederland / The Girls of Holland, published in 1959.
Original silverprint printed by the artist in the 1986, unsigned but with his annotation "Sq. du Vert-Galant, Paris - Helen Gish - 9/50" in pencil on the back of the 55 x 45 cm cardboard mount it was put in by the photographer himself.

Publisher's info:
Photographe, cinéaste, graphiste, peintre: les qualificatifs pleuvent lorsqu'il s'agit de désigner William Klein. Si ce dernier est aujourd'hui avant tout reconnu comme photographe, il s'est toujours attaché à brouiller les cartes : tour à tour peintre - formé entre autres dans l'atelier de Fernand Léger -, photographe (à partir de 1952, date de ses premiers travaux abstraits), puis cinéaste (à partir de 1958), Klein n'a cessé de défier les étiquettes et de tenter de mettre au point de « nouveaux objets visuels », à la frontière de la photographie, du cinéma et de la peinture.
