Catherine Wilke, Capri, Slim Aarons Estate Edition, classic vibrant photograph
Located in Los Angeles, CA
'Catherine Wilke' is a vibrant, genuine Slim Aarons estate edition photograph. Numbered and stamped by the Slim Aarons Estate. Certificate of Authenticity included. Discover the epitome of leisurely sophistication with Slim Aarons' stunning photograph from 1980, showcasing the quintessence of laid-back luxury at the illustrious Hotel Punta Tragara in Capri. In this masterful composition, Catherine Wilke epitomizes the serene joy of sunny European leisure, gracefully strolling with a fresh coconut beverage amidst an array of topless sun worshippers basking under the Mediterranean sun. This evocative scene is a harmonious blend of natural beauty and human allure, with the glittering turquoise sea forming the perfect backdrop to a tableau of relaxation and style. In addition to Catherine, this scene captures Elisabetta Catalano, Charlotte Ticken, and Pamela Grupas, each contributing to the canvas of vintage elegance in their vibrant red and blue swimsuits paired with timeless straw sunhats. Their repose on the crisp white linens laid upon the geometrically arranged sunbathing beds underlines the meticulous composition that Aarons was renowned for. This image is a visual symphony, where the architectural lines of the sunbathing terrace intersect with the soft curves of the relaxed figures, crafting a scene that captures the essence of the high life without pretense. It is Slim Aarons' invitation to step into a world where the glamour of the past converges with the timelessness of pure enjoyment. Perfect for connoisseurs of fine art photography, enthusiasts of vintage fashion, and collectors seeking to add a touch of retro-chic allure to their walls, this photograph is more than just a visual treat—it's a passport to the golden age of jet-set elegance. Secure your slice of history and invite the spirit of Capri's golden days into your home or collection with this iconic Slim Aarons masterpiece. Catherine Wilke Capri Slim Aarons Estate Edition Chromogenic Lambda print Printed Later Slim Aarons Estate Edition Complimentary dealer shipping to your framer, worldwide. Stamped and hand numbered by the Slim Aarons Estate. Certificate of Authenticity included. Over the course of a career lasting half a century, Slim Aarons (1916-2006) portrayed high society, aristocracy, authors, artists, business icons, the celebrated and their milieu. In doing so, he captured a golden age of wealth, privilege, beauty and leisure that occurred alongside—but quite separate from—the cultural and political backdrop of the second half of the Twentieth Century. The Slim Aarons Estate has released the limited Estate edition as a Lambda print, which is a modern c-type prints. They have chosen Lambda prints for their sharpness, clarity, colour saturation and quality, compared to archival inkjet prints. Lambda printing gives true continuous tone. Photograph is unframed Slide show includes a close-up of the Slim Aarons estate's stamp. Collector will get the next number in the edition * We are pleased to offer the entire archive of the Slim Aarons Estate, offering the official Slim Aarons Estate Edition (only offered in this edition of 150). Please contact us for additional photographs from Slim Aarons * Aarons began his career as a combat photographer in World War II. Though he earned a Purple Heart for his service, he declared that combat had taught him that the only beach worth landing on was decorated with beautiful people enjoying themselves in the sun. He was born and raised in New York City and New Jersey and later New Hampshire. He took up photography as a teenager. At the age of eighteen, he enlisted in the U. S. Army and was later appointed official photographer at the United States Military Academy at West Point. During World War II he served as an army combat photographer for Yank magazine in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. After the war he became a freelance photojournalist, first based in Hollywood, then Rome, then New York. His photographs appeared in many magazines, including Life, Holiday, Town & Country, Look, Venture, and Travel & Leisure. His first book A Wonderful Time (1974) is considered a classic.

Find a broad range of photography on 1stDibs today.

The first permanent image created by a camera — which materialized during the 1820s — is attributed to Joseph Nicéphore Niépce. The French inventor was on to something for sure. Kodak introduced roll film in the 1880s, allowing photography to become more democratic, although cameras wouldn’t be universally accessible until several decades later. 

Digital photographic techniques, software, smartphone cameras and social-networking platforms such as Instagram have made it even easier in the modern era for budding photographers to capture the world around them as well as disseminate their images far and wide. 

What might leading figures of visual art such as Andy Warhol have done with these tools at their disposal?

Today, when we aren’t looking at the digital photos that inundate us on our phones, we look to the past to celebrate the photographers who have broken rules as well as records — provocative and prolific artists like Horst P. Horst, Lillian Bassman and Helmut Newton, who altered the face of fashion and portrait photography; visionary documentary photographers such as Gordon Parks, whose best-known work was guided by social justice; and pioneers of street photography such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, who shot for revolutionary travel magazines like Holiday with the likes of globetrotting society lensman Slim Aarons.

Find photographers you may not know in Introspective and The Study — where you’ll read about Berenice Abbott, who positioned herself atop skyscrapers for the perfect shot, or “conceptual artist-adventurer” Charles Lindsay, whose work combines scientific rigor with artistic expression, or Massimo Listri, known for his epic interiors of opulent Old World libraries. Photographer Jeannette Montgomery Barron was given a Kodak camera as a child. Later, she shot on Polaroid film before buying her first 35mm camera in her teens. Barron's stunning portraits of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Warhol and other artists chronicle a crucial chapter of New York’s cultural history.

Throughout the past two centuries, photographers have used their medium to create expressive work that has resonated for generations. Shop a voluminous collection of this powerful fine photography on 1stDibs. Search by photographer to find the perfect piece for your living room wall, or spend some time with the work organized under various categories, such as landscape photography, nude photography and more.
