About the Item

Shot by Barry Kramer (1921- 1984), one of the most prolific photographers of his time, captures the essence of 1950's Hollywood movie star, Jane Mansfield with "Seagram's Dogs. It was shot by Barry Kramer in 1952. It and other iconic images captured by Barry Kramer, (circa 1950's) went undiscovered for 32 years, until 2015, when found in a box containing it and other negatives, stored in the family's basement. This image was professionally restored to recapture its original tonal qualities and printed in 2019. Barry Kramer was the first photographer to discover an unknown Jane Mansfield, initially photographing her in the early 1950’s in studio, in a boudoir style. He was born and raised in New York City and graduated from New York University as advertising major. Like many before him, his photography was not well-known during his life but celebrated after death. This image and others were discovered 33 years after his death. Kramer traveled with USO shows for enlisted men during WWII around Europe, photographing and developing close relationships with many stars that included Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Duke Ellington and Jack Benny. They expanded his relationships to include Perry Como, Steve Allen, Wayne Newton, Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Don Rickles, Count Basie, Joan Rivers, Buddy Hackett, Stan Kenton, Ella Fitzgerald, Joey Bishop and countless other celebrities of the time. He was also the in-house photographer at the famous Westbury Theater, Long Island, New York, where many of the aforementioned stars preformed. Until now Kramer’s photographs have never been published in a limited-edition format. Each image captures the essence of a time gone by in American culture and entertainment and the stars who really shined.

Art Forms in Mechanism XXlll

Located in Houston, TX
Linarejos Moreno Art Forms in Mechanism XXlll, 2016 natural pigments print on gessoed burlap 117 x 60 inches “Art Forms in Mechanism” began when artist Linarejos Moreno discovered a collection of 19th century botanical models while researching at the Cabinet of Scientific Curiosities, a Spanish historical archive. Manufactured by a European company that specialized in scientific equipment, the models are made of papier-mâché, gears, clips, hooks, and printed numbers and labels, and they were designed for hands on, practical use. Moreno was initially attracted to the models because, as she notes, “they contained the tension between the industrial and the humanity/fragility that I often research in my work. On the one hand, they were machines, with all their gears, on the other hand, even if they were supposed to be neutral scientific objects...
