Evelyn Lauder (née Hausner; August 12, 1936 – November 12, 2011) was an Austrian American businesswoman, socialite and philanthropist who has been credited as one of the creators and promoters of the pink ribbon as a symbol for awareness of breast cancer. Lauder, an avid photographer, had a home in Colorado and a penthouse on Fifth Avenue lined with modern art.
She was born Evelyn Hausner in 1936 in Vienna, Austria, to a Jewish family. Lauder’s family fled Nazi-occupied Austria in 1938, using their household silver to get visas to Belgium. They then moved on to England where her mother was sent to an internment camp on the Isle of Man and Evelyn was placed in a nursery. The family arrived in New York City in 1940. Lauder would later recall that she was asleep when the ship bringing them to the United States arrived in New York Harbor and her mother woke her up to see the Statue of Liberty During the war years her father worked as a diamond cutter; then the family opened the first of what became a chain of five dress shops in Manhattan.
She graduated from Hunter College High School in 1954. She then attended Hunter College, part of the City University of New York, where she studied Psychology and Anthropology and also where she met her future husband, Leonard Lauder, then a trainee naval officer, on a blind date. She graduated from Hunter College in 1958. The couple were married on July 5, 1959. After the marriage, she worked for several years as a public school teacher in Harlem before leaving to work with her husband at the company founded in 1946 by her mother-in-law, Estée Lauder, which at the time sold six products: a red lipstick, creams, lotions, and Youth Dew fragrance in a bath oil.
Lauder, an executive at Estée Lauder, created the Clinique brand name and developed its product line. Lauder personally raised much of the $13.6 million that went to create the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, which opened in October 1992 and focuses on the treatment and diagnosis of breast cancer. They have amassed a magnificent art collection for the Center, including hundreds of stunning artworks from internationally celebrated artists such as Chuck Close, Michele Oka Doner, Beverly Pepper, Ellen Phelan, Lorna Simpson and Pat Steir. She helped raise an additional $5 million to create an endowment to be used to fund clinical research there.
Evelyn Lauder's photographs were exhibited across the globe at many prestigious galleries from 1992 to 2012. Her last exhibition was held at the Gagosian Gallery in London in the Fall of 2011. In 2010, a 30 year retrospective entitled Beauté et Sérénité was presented at Galerie des Galeries, Galeries Lafayette in Paris, France.
In the United States, Lauder exhibited her work at Pace\MacGill Gallery and Holly Solomon Gallery in New York City, John Berggruen Gallery in San Francisco, Gagosian Gallery in Los Angeles, Baldwin Gallery in Aspen, Winston/Wachter Gallery in NYC and Seattle, and Greenberg Van Doren Gallery in Saint Louis. Internationally, solo exhibitions were held at the Royal Opera House at Covent Garden in London, the Jerusalem Centre for Performing Arts in Israel, Duran Exposiciones in Madrid, Tectona in Paris, MACBA in Barcelona and the Red Gate Gallery in Beijing.
Extensive collections of Evelyn Lauder's photographs can be viewed at the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, the Evelyn H. Lauder Patient Care Pavilion at Aspen Valley Hospital in Aspen, and the Lee Bell Center for Breast Imaging at Brigham & Women's Hospital in Boston. She cites Edward Weston, Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel Adams, Irving Penn, Imogen Cunningham, Jacques-Henri Lartigue, Lynn Geesaman and Andreas Gursky as just some of her favorite photographers. Her photographs are also in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Estée Lauder Companies, The Chase Manhattan Bank, and the private collections of Richard Meier, Elton John and Donna Karan among others.
Following Lauder's death, Delta Air Lines, which had already dedicated one of its Boeing 767-400ER long-haul planes in honor of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation that Lauder founded and painted it in a pink livery while Lauder was living, re-christened and renamed the same plane in her memory.

In the early 1970s he taught the first color course at the Cooper Union in New York City where many of today's renowned color photographers studied with him.
Inspired by seeing Robert Frank at work, Meyerowitz quit his job as an art director at an advertising agency and took to the streets of New York City with a 35mm camera and black-and-white film, alongside Garry Winogrand, Tony Ray...

Vintage C Print "Of Time and Change" Boulders on a Sea Shore
By Sonja Bullaty
Located in Surfside, FL
1981, Chromogenic Print. It is supposed to be signed lower right recto but has not been examined out of frame.
Provenance: Bernice Steinbaum Gallery, New York; ARCO Chemical Company, Newtown Square, PA.
Sonja Bullaty (October 17, 1923 - October 5, 2000) was a Jewish American photographer. Bullaty is known for her "lyrical composition" and strong use of color during her fifty-year collaboration with her husband, Angelo Lomeo. Bullaty and Lomeo's photographs appeared in LIFE, Time and Audubon magazines and journal.They have both exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the International Center of Photography, the George Eastman House, UMPRUM Museum in Prague, in the Nikon House galleries and other venues.
Bullaty was born in Prague to a Jewish banking family. Her family gave her a camera when she turned fourteen. Since Bullaty had been forced to leave school at the time, the camera was a "consolation gift." When Bullaty was eighteen, she was deported by the Nazis to Poland, where she was kept in the Lodz ghetto, and then later taken to Auschwitz and Gross-Rosen concentration camps. During a death march near Dresden, she and a friend successfully hid in a barn and were able to escape and return to Prague. When she got back to her home city, she discovered that no one else in her family had survived the Holocaust.
Bullaty, "her head shaved," saw and answered an advertisement to be the helper to Czech photographer, Josef Sudek. As his assistant, she mixed chemicals for the darkroom, organized his negatives and learned from his sense of composition.[1] Sudek called her his "apprentice-martyr." Sudek's work often focused on the Czech landscape and windows, such as in the series The Windows of My Studio (1940-1954). Bullaty also photographed windows, but unlike Sudek, who photographed his own windows looking out, Bullaty photographed windows looking into buildings. Bullaty published a book, Sudek (1978), about her mentor, and it was the first publication of his work in the West.
Bullaty found work with a photographer on her third day in New York. Also in 1947, she met Angelo Lomeo. They were brought together when she was inquiring about a darkroom in a building he managed. Lomeo was intrigued by Bullaty's accent and went to see her. They started photographing together a year later, traveling and sharing resources; during their time together, they became close. Bullaty and Lomeo were married in 1951. Later, when she was married, she and her husband would visit Sudek and bring him photography supplies. They visited him in Czechoslovakia "almost yearly." In 1971, she helped mount an exhibition of Sudek's work in New York.
As photographers, Bullaty and Lomeo started using studio cameras...
