About the Item

This photograph is offered by ClampArt, located in New York City.
Born in Brooklyn, Sheila Metzner attended Pratt Institute, where she majored in Visual Communications. Shortly after graduating, she was hired by Doyle Dane Bernbach advertising agency as its first female art director. She took pictures all the while, amassing them slowly over the next thirteen years, while raising five children. One of these photographs was included in the Museum of Modern Art's groundbreaking exhibition, "Mirrors and Windows: American Photography since 1960." Gallery shows and commercial clients soon followed, launching a career that has taken Metzner around the world on assignments for clients like Valentino, Shiseido, and Revlon; as well as for her own photographic projects, which have focused largely on details of the human form, and natural and urban scenes.
Metzner's photographs are featured in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Brooklyn Museum, and Saks Fifth Avenue, all in New York City; The Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and The Art Institute of Chicago; as well as the collections of the Agfa and Polaroid Corporations.

Sheila Metzner
Sheila Metzner (born 1939) is an American photographer. She was the first female photographer to collaborate with the Vogue magazine on an ongoing basis. Metzner lives in Brooklyn, New York. Metzner graduated from the High School of Art and Design and the Faculty of Visual Communications of the Pratt Institute. In the 1960s, she became the first woman to be promoted to art director by Doyle Dane Bernbach, an advertising agency. Thanks to this, she successfully collaborated with well-known photographers, including Richard Avedon, Melvin Sokolsky, Bob Richardson and Diane Arbus. Her first show in New York was called Friends & Family. She decided to show part of the images to the director of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, John Sarkovsky. In 1978, he bought one and included in MoMA exhibition Mirrors and Windows: American Photography Since 1960. A second exhibition – Photography (Spring 1981): Couches, Diamonds and Pie – took place there. After that, The New York Times and The Sunday Times published a photograph of Sheila's husband. In 2008 the School of Visual Arts presented the exhibition Time Line: Shelia Metzner at the Visual Arts Museum, New York.

Self Portrait on the Subway
By Peter Berlin

Signed in black ink, recto
14 x 11 inches, sheet size
13 x 8.75 inches, image size
Born in Poland in 1942 as Armin Hagen Freiherr von Hoyningen-Huene, Peter Berlin is a relative of the celebrated fashion photographer George Hoyningen-Huene (1900-1968). Raised in Germany, Peter Berlin received post-secondary education as a photo-technician, and in his early 20s worked as a celebrity portraitist for German television. However, it was around this time that he curiously began designing and sewing his own skin-tight clothing which he would wear as he cruised the parks and train stations in Berlin, Rome, Paris, New York, and San Francisco. After several long-term stays on the east coast of the United States, Peter Berlin eventually moved to San Francisco in 1969, and became a fixture on the steep streets with his signature look and perpetual posing. He soon began producing films and starred in the now iconic “Nights in Black Leather” (1973), co-directed by Richard Abel. Berlin then produced, directed, and starred in “That Boy” the following year, and made four shorter films through the mid- to late-1970s, while publishing and selling his photographic self portraits. Peter Berlin was the subject of several Robert Mapplethorpe...
