About the Item

Waterskiing from the Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d'Antibes, France, 1969. Waterskiing at Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc 1969 (printed later) C print Estate stamped and numbered edition of 150 with Certificate of authenticity Slim Aarons, an acclaimed fine art photographer, is synonymous with images that capture the luxury, glamour, and jet-set lifestyle of the mid-20th century. Renowned for his candid portraits of celebrities, socialites, and the global elite, Aarons' work celebrates vintage elegance and opulent leisure, as epitomized in his iconic 1970 photograph "Poolside Gossip" series, which include the former fashion model Helen Dzo Dzo Kaptur and Nelda Linsk, and art dealer Joseph Linsk, at the Richard Neutra's designed Kaufmann Desert House in Palm Springs, California, arguably the most famous home in Palm Springs. The Linsks are the current owners of the house.. Granted exclusive access to the world's most elite gatherings, he wove tales of extravagance, often juxtaposed against mesmerizing modernist architecture. His photography, reminiscent of the distinct styles of contemporaries like Horst P. Horst, Helmut Newton, and Bert Stern, has been showcased in esteemed institutions, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Palm Springs Art Museum, Getty Images Gallery, and IFAC Arts. Slim Aarons (1916-2006) primarily worked for society publications, capturing "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." He photographed the rich and famous both before and after his tenure as a photographer for the US military magazine, Yank, during World War II. His work has been featured in publications like Town and Country, Holiday, Venture, and LIFE. Though closely aligned with Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson, Aarons chose not to join them in founding Magnum. Instead, he transitioned from black and white photography, immersing himself in a world of sun-drenched glamour and light-heartedness. His intimate portrayals of the elite and the jet set brim with the wit and charisma that granted Aarons unparalleled access to high society. IFAC Arts, in collaboration with Getty Images, presents Slim Aarons' extensive archive. Spanning six decades, this collection showcases a lifestyle that many dream of but few experience. Expert restoration and darkroom work on the original negatives and transparencies enable prints in the largest photographic sizes, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in these dazzling depictions of the good life. For more than a decade, IFAC Arts has been a trusted partner representing the Slim Aarons Estate on 1stdibs. Please follow us on 1stdibs @ifacarts

Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, Waterskiing in Cap d'Antibes, France
By Slim Aarons
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Immerse yourself in the essence of 1960s Riviera luxury with Slim Aarons' vibrant photograph, Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc. This striking image, a token of nautical elegance, showcases a series of exquisite red vintage boats, ready to glide through the waters of the French Riviera. Captured in the summer of 1969, this photograph is a symphony of color and activity, featuring the opulent lifestyle at the iconic Hotel Du Cap-Eden-Roc. The rich wooden finish of the vintage boats, named Sirocco, Eleven-Eleven, and Sunny III, gleams under the Mediterranean sun, reflecting a time when leisure was an art form perfected through timeless style. In the foreground, we see the boats moored gracefully by the dock, their polished brass fittings and vibrant red hulls drawing the eye with an irresistible allure. The scene is alive with movement; a waterskier cuts a swathe through the azure blue, trailed by a boat that slices through the calm sea, creating a dynamic contrast of stillness and speed. This Slim Aarons photograph not only captures the visual splendor of the era but also embodies the spirit of the French Riviera's high life - a life of leisure, luxury, and endless summer days spent on the water. Perfect for collectors looking to infuse their space with the timeless chic of the Côte d'Azur. Add this classic Slim Aarons piece to your collection and let it transport you to the glamorous world of 1960s waterskiing, where elegance and adventure sail in tandem on the serene waters of Cap d'Antibes.
