David Drebin
Heart on Stage by David Drebin

2021

About the Item

David Drebin Chromogenic Print Mounted and Framed Available in two sizes: 30 x 37.5 inches (Edition of 10) 48 x 60 inches (Edition of 7) David Drebin’s photographs occupy a singular space at the intersection of visual storytelling, cinematic grandeur, and psychological depth. In this striking chromogenic print, Drebin continues his exploration of narrative imagery through a lens of glamour, desire, and suspense—his signature femme fatale set against a luminous urban tableau that suggests both infinite possibility and emotional complexity. Rendered on a grand scale, this work is both technically masterful and conceptually layered. The cityscape—whether New York, Hong Kong, or Paris—becomes an open stage, inviting the viewer to imagine untold stories behind every lit window, every distant silhouette. What sets Drebin apart is his ability to seduce the viewer not only with visual opulence but with ambiguity: the allure of beauty is laced with solitude, and elegance veils emotional tension. His works are more than images—they are cinematic moments frozen in time, suggestive and unresolved, leaving space for the imagination to roam. Drebin’s international acclaim is affirmed by his inclusion in prominent private and institutional collections, with collectors such as Sir Elton John and Ben Stiller among his admirers. His work has been featured at leading art fairs—Paris Photo, Art Miami, The Armory Show—and is increasingly recognized not only for its aesthetic merit but as a valuable investment in contemporary photography. With limited edition sizes—Edition of 10 (30 x 37.5 in) and Edition of 7 (48 x 60 in)—each print offers exclusivity and enduring value. Fully mounted and framed, this piece is a sophisticated addition to any serious collection, a rare opportunity to acquire the work of one of today’s most evocative visual storytellers.

Rare Vintage Color C Print Photograph African Maasai Warrior Chromogenic Photo
By Carol Beckwith
Located in Surfside, FL
Carol Beckwith, (American, b. 1945), Maasai Portrait Chromogenic print on paper, from Beckwith's book "Maasai" (1980), Hand signed in pencil, dated and titled with name of sitter in margins, 19" x 16" Sheet. Carol Beckwith (1945-) is an American photographer, author, and artist known for her photojournalism documenting the indigenous tribal cultures of Africa, most notably in partnership with the Australian photographer Angela Fisher. Between them, Beckwith and Fisher have published 14 books, and have had their photos appear in National Geographic, Natural History, African Arts, The Observer Magazine, Time, Life, Vogue, Marie Claire and Elle. They continue to exhibit and lecture at galleries and museums worldwide, including The American Museum of Natural History and The Explorers Club in New York City, The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, and the Royal Geographical Society in London. They have also collaborated on four films about African traditions. Together they have received numerous accolades, including the United Nations Award for Excellence, the Royal Geographical Society's Cherry Kearton Medal, two Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards, The Explorers Club Lowell Thomas Award, and the WINGS WorldQuest Lifetime Achievement Award. Carol Beckwith was born in Boston, Massachusetts, where she went on to attend both the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Goucher College in Maryland. After obtaining her degree in Painting and Photography she won a traveling fellowship from the Boston Museum, which let her travel to other countries for the first time. She spent seven months in Japan, living in a Zen temple and studying calligraphy painting. She continued to travel through Southeast Asia and New Guinea, where she witnessed a "sing-sing", a gathering of 90,000 Highland warriors, in Mount Hagen, and paddled up Chambri Lakes in a canoe, an experience she called "one of the most wonderful, and in a way formative, experiences in my life." Her first trip to Africa was in 1973, when she was invited to spend Christmas with a friend in Kenya. Beckwith bought a 45-day roundtrip ticket and ended up staying eight months. There she encountered the Maasai people who invited her to witness a female circumcision ceremony. Astonished by the ritual, she then determined to spend more time with the Maasai. Beckwith studied photography in college but had initially intended to become a painter. It was during her travels through New Guinea that she realized the advantages of photography, saying that "there was such a vast amount of exciting material that I began to photograph instead, approaching photography with the eye of a painter in terms of light, color, composition. I wanted the images to be multi layered experiences in a way that a painting is. . . [Photography] seemed to be a more suitable medium for the pace of travel." Beckwith's first major collaboration was with Tepilit Ole Saitoti, an anthropologist and former Maasai warrior...
