Located in Zurich, CH
René GROEBLI (*1927, Switzerland)
521, 1952
Vintage silver gelatin print on Baryta paper
Image 27.6 x 19 cm (10 7/8 x 7 1/2 in.)
Sheet 34 x 23 cm (13 3/8 x 9 in.)
Unique
Framed
Signed and dated on verso
This photograph is part of the MoMA permanent collection.
René Groebli (born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1927) secured his place among the elite of Swiss post-war photographers with his 1949 portfolio MAGIE DER SCHIENE (RAIL MAGIC). In the early fifties Groebli worked as reporter for Life, Picture Post and other international magazines. During the following years he owned a studio for industrial and advertising photography. In 1957 the American Color Annual named him MASTER OF COLOR.
In the early 80s Groebli stopped working for advertising and rediscovered for himself the possibilities of expression that black & white photography offers. In 1999 the Zurich Kunsthaus (Art Museum) showed a representative selection of his photographs from the years 1946 to 1996.
With NUDES René Groebli gives us a work for sensuous pleasure that had grown over half a century. In the long history of sensual art photography one is hard pressed to find anyone comparable to the Swiss photo...

Palm Beach Idyll, Estate Edition, Christmas Beach
By Slim Aarons
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This classic Slim Aarons photograph depicts a couple basking under the sun at the renowned Palm Beach, Florida, circa 1955. The woman in the forefront sports a vintage orange swimsuit and a chic straw sunhat adorned with a vibrant red ribbon.
Dominating the scene is a tropical holiday tree and candy cane themed umbrella, situated between two palm trees, further accentuated by a tray filled with neatly wrapped holiday gifts. The creative interplay between the inverted triangle of the chair and the conventional triangle of the umbrella culminates in a balanced yet dynamic composition.
With the midcentury tropical beach setting and warm orange color palette, this festive Slim Aarons photograph transcends seasons, making it a timeless piece to appreciate year-round.
