Ben Martin
Salvador Dali 1963 Silver Gelatin Signed Limited Edition Photograph - Ben Martin

2022

About the Item

This Signed Limited Edition Silver Gelatin Photograph was authorized by the Ben Martin Estate. Ben Martin was TIME Magazine’s first New York Bureau staff photographer covering wars, fashion, politics, arts, business, and sports for TIME, Life, Fortune, People, and Sports Illustrated for thirty-three years. He immortalized evocative images that defined the 1960’s. In this series of legendary photoshoots, Martin captured the unedited complexity of each artist's personality, art, and surroundings. This black-and-white photograph of Salvador Dali was taken in 1963 and captures Dali's larger-than-life personality and distinctive waxed mustache. Silver gelatin photographs are revered for their rich tonal range, intricate detail, and historical significance. Crafted through a meticulous process involving manual exposure, darkroom development, and creative manipulation, these black-and-white prints offer a tangible connection to the past while providing a canvas for artistic expression. Their archival quality, tactile nature, and monochromatic focus evoke a deep emotional impact, inviting viewers to engage with the image's composition, contrast, and texture, resulting in enduring and cherished artworks. As a member of the surrealist movement that emerged in the 1920s, Salvador Dalí sought to explore the unconscious mind and the world of dreams through art. His works were characterized by their dreamlike quality, often featuring bizarre and seemingly unrelated objects and figures. He was also known for his technical skill, incorporating precise details and hyper-realistic elements into his paintings. Dalí's works continue to be exhibited in museums and galleries wordwide, and his influence on popular culture can still be seen in everything from fashion to film. The size of the silver gelatin print is 20 inches high and 16 inches wide. It is numbered 1/15 on the back of the photograph. It is framed in a black frame measuring 26 inches high and 22 inches wide. The price includes the frame. It is wired and ready to hang. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping. A signed certificate of authenticity issued by Kathryn Leigh Scott representing Ben Martin's Photographs is included. Ben Martin attended Ohio University, where he majored in journalism and photography, working his way through college cooking nights as a short-order “White Castle” hamburger chef, and as a stringer-photographer for UPI Newspictures. He was married to actress Kathryn Leigh Scott (1971-1990), with whom he co-founded Pomegranate Press, a book publishing company. The two remained close friends and business partners until his death on February 10, 2017, at age 86. Ben Martin's photographs have been exhibited in galleries throughout the US. Artplex Gallery is pleased to offer Ben Martin's photograph through an official Kathryn Leigh Scott authorized edition. This edition size is only authorized for 15.
