About the Item

Marcel Duchamp And Eve Babitz - Pasadena Art Museum 1963 Color Babitz and a black-suited Duchamp sit at a wood table in an art gallery, manipulating pawns and rooks. The image’s deadpan humor comes from the subjects’ incongruity, as well as their scrupulous attention to the game—neither seems aware of her nakedness. For fans of Duchamp and Babitz, the photographs capture the meeting of two brilliant minds: the father of Conceptual Art, responsible for putting a urinal in a gallery and proclaiming it sculpture; and the writer who captured the glitz of mid-20th-century Los Angeles in sparkling, singular prose. The backstory to Wasser’s photo shoot is both tantalizing gossip and crucial cultural history. Archival Pigment Print Edition of 25 Hand Signed by Julian Wasser Available in 16"x20", 20"x24" - inquire about larger sizes Julian Wasser started his career in photography in the Washington DC bureau of the Associated Press. While at Associated Press he met Weegee and rode with the famous news photographer as he shot photos of crime scenes in Washington. Weegee was a major influence on Wasser’s style of photography. After serving in the Navy in San Diego the former AP copyboy became a contract photographer for Time Magazine in Los Angeles doing assignments for Time, Life, and Fortune. His photographs have appeared in and been used as covers of Time, Newsweek, and People magazines in the United States. He has done cover assignments for The Sunday Telegraph, and The Sunday Times colour supplements in London. His photos have appeared in US Magazine, Vanity Fair, TV Guide, Paris Match, Der Spiegel, Oggi, Hello, Playboy, Elle, Vogue, and GQ and in exhibitions in galleries and museums. His photographs of Los Angeles life can be seen in his new book The Way We Were published by D.A.P. Damiani.
