Feldschuh Gallery - Joel-Peter Witkin, Three Kinds of Woman, 1992

US$40,000.00 The elaborately staged and often erotically charged scenes of Joel-Peter Witkin explore grand themes of religion, sex, and mortality. This work, which appeared in his 1993 book_Twelve Photographs_, is a prime example of Witkin's photographic tableaux. Made in Mexico City, it is a darkly fantastical, south-of-the-border take on Georges Seurat's 1888 painting_Les Poseuses_. The large size of this print makes it quite rare.DATE: 1992MEDIUM: Gelatin silver printDIMENSIONS: (FRAMED) 45.37 inches (width) x 36.75 inches (height) x 2 inches (depth) ; Frame: 0.75 inch (face)FRAMING: Black frame, white mat*This item requires special delivery.

Feldschuh Gallery - Martin Munkacsi, Untitled, 1923

US$1,250.00 Considered by many to be the father of modern fashion photography, Hungarian-born Martin Munkácsi (1896-1963) injected spontaneity into photojournalism, earning him the nickname "the kinetic man."

Feldschuh Gallery - Lucien Clergue, Nus de la Mer, c. 1960

US$31,650.00 One of the most idiosyncratic and influential French photographers, Lucien Clergue, combines a subtle artistic sensibility with the heat and sensuality of his native Provence.

Feldschuh Gallery - Irving Penn, Still Life with Watermelon, 1947

US$75,000.00 "I feed on art more than I ever do on photographs," said Irving Penn (1917-2009). This 1947 still life is a testament to the photographer's art historical nourishment. The postprandial scene, colorful and sensual with a hint of decay, positions a juicy pink watermelon wedge at its center, and from this pure plane descends the detritus of a meal-napkin,...

Feldschuh Gallery - Helmut Newton, "Here's Looking at You" Series for Playboy, 1991

US$15,000.00 Part of a 1991 commission for _Playboy_, Helmut Newton's "Here's Looking at You" is an enthralling game of glances between three women.

The image simultaneously celebrates and...

Feldschuh Gallery - Henri Cartier-Bresson, Calle Cuauhtemocztin, 1934

US$28,000.00 The work of Henri Cartier-Bresson oscillates between the fantasy of Surrealism and the reality of early photojournalism. He achieves a balance of the two extremes in this 1934 double portrait of Mexico City prostitutes. The exaggerated expression and makeup of the woman to the viewer's left creates an element of fantasy embedded within an otherwise typical scene of the...

Feldschuh Gallery - Mona Kuhn, Flower, 2005

US$8,500.00 Brazilian-born, Los Angeles-based artist Mona Kuhn is widely known for her large-scale, dream-like photographs of the female nude.

Feldschuh Gallery - Garry Winogrand, Beverly Hilton, Los Angeles from New California Views, 1964

US$12,500.00 Garry Winogrand (1928-1984) unflinchingly captured America's swings between optimism and upheaval in the postwar era. Best known for his New York City street photography, he switched gears-and coasts-to capture this 1964 shot of a sunbather and an employee of the iconic Beverly Hills hotel. The untitled work, from the portfolio _New California Views_, is also in the collection of...

Feldschuh Gallery - Gyorgy Kepes, Oval Canvas, 1986

US$8,500.00 In the early 1980s, the Polaroid Foundation invited Hungarian-born painter and photographer György Kepes (1906-2001) to use the 20x24 Polaroid camera. The resulting carefully staged compositions summarize many of his artistic concerns, employing such objects as prisms, flowers, and graphic papers to manipulate the effects of light and form. With_Oval canvas_, he reimagines perception and photorealism. The title implies...

Feldschuh Gallery - Ralph Gibson, Malibu [woman in bikini] 1972

US$6,000.00 Ralph Gibson's _Malibu (woman in a bikini)_epitomizes the fluidity and freedom that prevailed on the West Coast in the 1970s.

With this image, Gibson plays with light and shadow...
