Pool at Lake Tahoe, Estate Edition, Landscape Photograph Sierra Nevada Mountains
By Slim Aarons
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This landscape photograph by iconic mid-century photographer Slim Aarons depicts bathers by a pool at the Tahoe Tavern on the shore of Lake Tahoe, California, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, 1959.
Immerse yourself in the nostalgic allure of Slim Aarons' 'Lake Tahoe Pool,' a stunning estate photograph that captures the essence of 1950s summer leisure at the Tahoe Tavern, California. This piece is a window into a bygone era, where bathers bask by a dazzling turquoise pool, framed by the towering majesty of pine trees, with the Sierra Nevada mountains and the pristine waters of Lake Tahoe forming a breathtaking backdrop.
This idyllic scene is adorned with vintage holidaymakers lounging under chic fringed pastel umbrellas, embodying the effortless style and elegance that Aarons is renowned for. The tranquil poolside setting, framed by nature's grandeur, creates a captivating contrast between serene relaxation and the wild beauty of the Californian landscape.

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. They have chosen Lambda prints for their sharpness, clarity, colour saturation and quality, compared to archival inkjet prints. Lambda printing gives true continuous tone.

Stefanie Schneider's photographs evoke scintillating moments suspended between daydreams and waking reality. Each scene, captured in the southwestern United States, radiates a surreal enchantment. The artist's role appears minimal yet pivotal, providing the decisive impulse that sets the imagery into motion. The figures in her photographs remain as elusive as the motivations behind their actions, and the narratives woven through her sequences are tantalizingly open to interpretation.
Atmospheric disturbances in Schneider's work emerge as the result of a deliberate narrative arrangement, compelling viewers to navigate between visual mementos and the gaps in memory they conjure. Yet, her artistry is no less purposeful in its engagement with medium. Despite the inherent unpredictability of expired Polaroid film, Schneider wields it with calculated intent. The photo-chemical self-developing process, altered by age and decay, transforms the initial exposure into something alien yet mesmerizing. This dysfunction is a cornerstone of MIND SCREEN, a multi-part work that explores the fragility of reality, authenticity, and comprehension.
Schneider juxtaposes this brittleness with a magical realism steeped in chimeras, crafting dreamlike sequences that resist definitive narratives. She entrusts viewers with the responsibility of piecing together presumed storylines, refusing to offer a manual for interpretation. Instead, her work draws us into a realm where the unreal reigns—shimmering scenes that evoke the mirage of a road movie, a moment of violence, or a tragic self-sacrifice.
