Slim Aarons Esther Williams Slim Aarons Estate Edition American swimmer and actress Esther Williams (1921 - 2013) lounging on a trampoline, circa 1956. 40 x 40 inches $3950 30 x 30 inches $3350 20 x 20 inches $3000 Over the course of a career lasting half a century, Slim Aarons (1916-2006) portrayed high society, aristocracy, authors, artists, business icons, the celebrated and their milieu. In doing so, he captured a golden age of wealth, privilege, beauty and leisure that occurred alongside—but quite separate from—the cultural and political backdrop of the second half of the Twentieth Century. The Slim Aarons Estate has released the limited Estate edition as a Lambda print, which is a modern c-type prints.
