For 366 days, he captured intimate images of the singer-songwriter as he changed the look and sound of the 1960s.

Kramer captured Dylan’s shift from folk to rock, taking pictures that were featured on the covers of “Bringing It All Back Home” and “Highway 61 Revisited.”

Sixty years on, a legendary photographer—and VF contributor—opens up about those hard days and uproarious nights.

‘Sheila Metzner: From Life’ is at the Getty Center until 18 February 2024, including her richly toned fashion photography and still lifes; the artist tells us more.

Dreamy colour palettes are hallmarks of Metzner’s work, which graced the pages of Vogue and the walls of The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the International Center for Photography. Now, her work is on display as part of Sheila Metzner: From Life at the Getty Center.

This exhibition celebrates the artistry of the internationally acclaimed American photographer Sheila Metzner, who made her mark on the history of late 20th-century photography in the areas of fashion and still life.

Renowned photographer Slim Aarons gracefully captured that elusive allure throughout his long and successful career, painting portraits of opulence and luxury that beckon us into the world of our dreams

“Girls in the Windows” wasn’t made by an art world giant, but people keep buying it. And buying it. And buying it.

As the 60th Anniversary of The Beatles coming to America, and appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, approaches in February, PARK Magazine’s Whitney Schott sits down with the award-winning photojournalist who accompanied them on that journey, Harry Benson CBE.

Kurt Markus, an internationally acclaimed fine art photographer known for his black-and-white portraits, magazine and fashion work, and luminous landscapes, died in Santa Fe on June 12, after a battle with Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body disease. He was 75 years old.

Our monthly newsletter takes a deep dive into our archives. This month, our eyes are on Deborah Turbeville.

He was famous for his portraits of supermodels and his close relationship with Princess Diana. His images are part of the fashion canon.

The American photographer Bert Stern worked for Vogue in 1962, and written into his contract was a 10-page photo essay on a subject of his choice. Stern chose America’s blonde bombshell, Marilyn Monroe, and for a shoot in June asked her to the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. The photographs are still provocative today.

The legendary photographs of Marilyn Monroe from Bert Stern’s “The Last Sitting” are the subject of this exhibition at Staley-Wise Gallery. Indeed, very few photo shoots are legendary, one above all the others checks all the boxes : Marilyn Monroe and Bert Stern at the Bel Air Hotel for VOGUE in 1962.

Priscilla Rattazzi spoke about her career in photography and what inspired her most recent body of work at the Society of The Four Arts in Palm Beach, Florida on January 27, 2022.

Marilyn Monroe died on August 4, 1962 - only a few weeks after “The Last Sitting” photographs were taken.  When her death was announced, VOGUE immediately re-designed the upcoming September 1962 issue to commemorate Marilyn’s life and Bert Stern’s photographs from this shoot opened the feature in the magazine.  

Staley-Wise Gallery is sad to announce the death of our friend and photographer, Jesse Alexander. The gallery is proud to have represented his work for over 25 years.

A newly discovered trove of her kaleidoscopic works reveals that the enigmatic artist captured the zeitgeist of 1960s Southern California.

The story of the late photographer Kali is one of mystique, secrecy, and ubiquitous allure.

C’est une course aux trésors  commencée dans la Californie des sixties  et qui n’est pas près de s’achever.  C’est l’aventure d’une femme, Kali,  née en 1932, qui a tout quitté par passion,  et de son œuvre longtemps tenue secrète.  Deux expositions aux Etats-Unis et un coffret de quatre volumes publié  chez powerHouse, présentant les créations fantasmagoriques et éclectiques  de cette ancienne mère au foyer, tentent  aujourd’hui de démêler les fils de sa vie. par Oanell Terrier

“The best photographers, the best artists do it alone.” -Kali Archibald 

Filmmaker and writer Matt Tyrnauer discusses the mythology behind the discovery of great art, and how Kali could come to be the next Vivian Maier.

A massive new four-volume book makes the case for Joan Archibald, a California party girl turned lawyer’s wife who developed prints in her swimming pool, as a major visual artist.

The new four-volume book KALI Ltd. Ed. chronicles Joan Archibald’s transformation from Long Island housewife to elusive artist.

The release of a four-volume collection about the late, little known artist Kali coincides with an exhibit of her work at Staley-Wise Gallery in New York City.

The colors in many of Kali’s images seem to shimmer, as if pulsing with their own internal heartbeat.

Raised in Long Island, New York, Joan Marie Archibald (b. 1932) shed the garb of a thirty-year-old all-American housewife––wed then divorced with children––and headed to Los Angeles to don that of “Kali,” an artographer creating visions of psychedelia. Staley-Wise Gallery’s KALI is the late artist’s first major exhibition. It comprises a collection of largely unseen works, the discovery of which incidentally began by her daughter, Susan Oddo, and former son-in-law, photographer Len Prince, in 2017 while assisting Kali’s move into a nursing home, and which continued posthumously after her death following her battle with Parkinson’s in 2019. 

Staley-Wise Gallery is pleased to present the first major exhibition by KALI. The exhibition includes vintage photo-based artwork and original Polaroid prints. The majority of this work has never been seen publicly before.

Flooded with swirling, multilayered psychedelic hues, Kali’s portraits, often of wide-eyed young women, can feel like the ultimate distillation of an expansive, naïve and chaotic place and time. Despite her innovative techniques, her work has remained almost entirely unknown, but can now be seen in a new volume, “Kali".

The photos of Joan Archibald—or Kali, as she styled herself in about 1964— evoke a deep feeling, or better yet, realization of Los Angeles, or greater Los Angeles. The photos in these volumes, for the most part, came from a similar, timelessly picturesque canyon; they were developed in makeshift darkrooms. Those that didn’t come from the garage darkroom in the nearby canyon, came from the desert, developed in a master bath darkroom in Palm Springs, to be specific.

The story begins in 1964. A Long Island housewife named Joan Archibald loads up her old Studebaker and takes off for the West Coast, leaving behind two children and a soon-to-be ex-husband, never to return. She ends up in Malibu, where for a time she lives out of her car, and she soon falls in with the Hollywood hippie crowd, becoming best friends with the actor Richard Chamberlain, deflecting advances from Frank Sinatra, and taking up photography—Southern California providing a revolving door of beautiful young muses. She also changes her name to Kali Archibald.
 

With the Summer Olympics in full swing, New York’s Staley-Wise Gallery collects epic sports photographs by masters Lawrence Schiller, Slim Aarons, Pamela Hanson, Herb Ritts, Ellen von Unwerth, and others.

Featuring more than 120 photographers from over 20 countries, The New Woman Behind the Camera explores the diverse "new" women who embraced photography as a mode of professional and personal expression from the 1920s to the 1950s. The first exhibition to take an international approach to the subject, it examines how women brought their own perspectives to artistic experimentation, studio portraiture, fashion and advertising work, scenes of urban life, ethnography, and photojournalism, profoundly shaping the medium during a time of tremendous social and political change. Work by Lillian Bassman, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Toni Frissell, and Genevieve Naylor, among others, is included.

When Vogue 100: A Century of Style, a large-scale and far-ranging historical exhibition celebrating Vogue’s first 100 years, opened at London’s National Portrait Gallery in the spring of 2016, it was the culmination of five years of research. As chief curator, I pored over every issue of the magazine, over 1,500 and counting. As far as we could for the early decades, we wanted to go right back to the very prints that Vogue had published all those years ago. If they were torn, abraded or otherwise displayed the patina of age, then so much the better, we thought, for this was the very stuff of Vogue, its history.

Kurt Markus began his career shooting cowboys in Montana. A new exhibition shows how he trained his lens on boxers, fashion models and nudes, too.

Known for his stunning, raw, and authentic images, Kurt Markus returns to the Staley Wise Gallery for a career retrospective. Markus grew up in rural Montana and gained prominence through documenting American cowboys for the magazine Western Horseman. Many of these timeless images are shown in the gallery; the portraits are delicate and balanced — words not usually synonymous with cowboys.

In New York, Staley-Wise Gallery celebrates the long and illustrious career of American photographer Kurt Markus, known for the distinct monochrome style he has applied to everything from lyrical landscape imagery to portraiture and fashion photography.

This is Kurt Markus’ sixth exhibition at the gallery. If you are in New York, run to it!

Priscilla Rattazzi sealed her reputation as a fashion photographer in the 1980s. By the end of that decade, Ms. Rattazzi, a Roman living in New York, had turned from fashion to portraiture, capturing the likenesses of Diana Vreeland, Loulou de la Falaise, Gianni Agnelli (her uncle), and other contemporaries with an unexpected combination of astringency and warmth.

I territori incontaminati dell’Ovest, negli Stati Uniti, che accolgono le tribù dei nativi americani, sono in pericolo. Come testimonia il nuovo progetto fotografico di Priscilla Rattazzi, in mostra a New York,  che attraverso il suo lavoro contesta la decisione di Trump di espropriare due milioni di acri di territorio protetto nello Utah

“When Trump put those lands in jeopardy I was horrified. How could anyone want to ruin a landscape of such staggering beauty?” said Ms. Rattazzi, sitting among the thirty-six black and white pictures that are part of her exhibit. They will be shown for seven weeks until November 7. “The land is stunning and you feel you are walking on sacred grounds.”

“Hoodooland,” an exhibition of photographs by Priscilla Rattazzi, is opening today at the Staley-Wise Gallery in SoHo, continuing through Nov. 7. Ms. Rattazzi, who lives in New York City and East Hampton, photographed the weathered, mushroom-like rock formations in southwest Utah known as “hoodoos,” a name brought to the Americas by enslaved Africans.

Priscilla Rattazzi first visited southwest Utah ten years ago, where she explored and photographed the majestic and barren landscapes near Lake Powell and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

Precarious and looming mushroom-like rock formations are not something you would be expecting to see in New York City.

“When Yermo and I went to the Wahweap hoodoos for the first time at 3:30 A.M., he gave me a headlamp and insisted he didn’t need one,” says Priscilla Rattazzi, whose photographs of southwestern Utah, featuring the primeval rock formations known as hoodoos, go on display at New York’s Staley-Wise Gallery next week.

If you head out to the desert of Utah (perhaps for a stay at the remote Amangiri resort, which recently opened a set of luxury tented camps deeper into the property) you are likely to find hoodoos: tall, thin, mushroom-capped columns of rock formed by years of weathering and erosion. These geological wonders have enchanted the celebrated photographer Priscilla Rattazzi since she first visited southwest Utah 10 years ago and explored Lake Powell and the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

The shots on display on the Staley-Wise Gallery website in New York are a work of David LaChapelle, Herb Ritts, Slim Aarons, Phil Stern and other photographers: a cross-section of style, charm and male beauty that distances itself from univocal interpretations.

Two times of modern age. Two chapters of fashion history. Two different visions of sensuality and femininity. Two iconic artists. Louise Dahl-Wolfe and Stephanie Pfriender Stylander are featured at the ongoing exhibition at Staley-Wise Gallery of New York (currently available online and extended through the summer). Stars of magazines over thirty years apart, the works of the two fashion photographers reveals the evolution of elegance from the 40s-50s to the 90s-2000s. “Louise and myself approach fashion photography from opposite directions. Opposites eventually strike each other out which brings you to zero. Zero is our equal and our equal is our behavior.”

This week, the Annenberg Space for Photography is pleased to announce “Casual Conversations: The Vanity Fair Talks,” a four-part series of virtual conversations between lauded Vanity Fair photographers and some of the publications current and former editors. Over the course of four weeks, ASP will host four presentations and conversations about the iconic imagery that accompanied the magazine’s investigative reportage and signature wit via Zoom Webinar.

Se titula Lagarteranas en misa, está fechada en 1925 y es, seguramente, una de las imágenes que mejor haya ilustrado nunca lo que significa la fotografía al servicio de la etnografía. Ahí están, de la mano, historia y tradición, las invariables que apuntalan el concepto de nación. La cámara de José Ortiz Echagüe fue uno de los instrumentos que, desde una perspectiva tan política como filosófica, ayudó a principios del siglo XX en la reconstrucción del mito nacional español –entonces tan necesitado tras la crisis de 1898–, documentando el legado de usos, costumbres, ritos e indumentarias de un país que, en realidad, ya no tenía interés alguno en perpetuarlo. Lo contó el propio fotógrafo: los lugareños que retrataba protestaban por tener que posar con las viejas vestimentas que identificaban sus orígenes. En todas partes, menos en Lagartera, un pequeño pueblo al oeste de la provincia de Toledo, donde las mujeres siempre se han sabido fabulosas en sus trajes tradicionales.

In 1979, a group of women in Santa Rosa marched in a DIY parade holding up a banner that read “Sonoma County Celebrates Women’s History Week”. No one could have foretold that this grassroots initiative, founded in 1978, would become the foundation of a worldwide Women’s History Month.

In the years that followed, the National Women’s History Project was born, just as women’s history made its way into school curriculums across the country. In the 1980s, President Jimmy Carter recognized Women’s History Week, and Bill Clinton recognized Women’s History Month in 1995. This year, there are numerous exhibits across the US that celebrate great female artists. Here are eight of them.

NEW YORK, NY.- In this exhibition of fashion photography and portraits, Staley-Wise celebrates the work of two artists whose work appeared in magazines over 30 years apart.

In this exhibition of fashion photography and portraits, Staley-Wise celebrates the work of two artists whose work appeared in magazines over 30 years apart.

Where are all the great women fashion photographers? Ahead of women’s history month in March, one exhibition is looking at two key figures of the female gaze in fashion. Opening March 5, the Staley Wise Gallery in New York features two trailblazing women who broke ground in fashion photography; 2 Women of Style is the name of this two-woman exhibit showcasing the works of Louise Dahl-Wolfe; who shot for Harper’s Bazaar in the 1930s, and Stephanie Pfriender Stylander; a New York photographer who shot Kate Moss in 1991, when she was just 17. Granted, there are countless women fashion photographers who changed the game, from Regina Lelang to Deborah Turbeville and more recently, Ellen von Unwerth. Here, Pfriender Stylander shares her personal history as a photographer, her triumphs, challenges and what she respects most about actors.

Staley-Wise will be hosting a book signing at the gallery on Thursday, February 6 from 6 pm until 8 pm to celebrate photographer Ben Hassett’s first book “Color”. The photographer will be present and signing copies of this limited edition book.

A photographers instinct powerfully captures unparalleled moments. Offering a rare focus on fashion through the lens of renowned socio-political photojournalist Harry Benson, Staley Wise Gallery is exhibiting a series of 90 photographs--in time for the photographer's 90th birthday.

"A good photograph can never happen again,’ says Benson. ‘To me, that’s what photography is – a glimpse, and gone forever" - Harry Benson

Ralph Lauren looking through a peephole, Donna Karen doing some last-minute fiddling, Vivienne Westwood fixing a hat … the Scottish-born photographer caught the golden age of American fashion

Photojournalist Harry Benson has been a witness to a great many of the major political and social events in modern history. With an uncanny instinct for being in the right place at the right time, his unforgettable photographs have found their way into the national consciousness.

As the holiday approaches and moves to the New Year, the activities increase both privately and publicly. Last Thursday, December 12th, Harry Benson and his wife Gigi were joined by more than 400 friends and photography fans for the opening of Harry Benson Behind the Scenes at the Staley-Wise Gallery in Soho.

Iconic photographer Harry Benson, who just celebrated his 90th birthday (December 2), took a very fashionable victory stroll (victory strut?) last night at the opening of “Harry Benson: Behind the Scenes,” his latest Staley-Wise Gallery exhibition (through January 25).

Harry Benson, CBE, has captured some of the most memorable moments of the 20th century. His latest retrospective, on view at the Staley-Wise Gallery from December 12 to January 25, brings unprecedented style to his prominent portfolio. “It’s a huge show,” says Gigi Benson, Harry’s wife and partner of 52 years. “Hopefully, guests will be surprised and intrigued.”

For the first time in America, Crossroads will present an ensemble of dye transfer and gelatin silver prints illustrating Txema Yeste’s career in fashion photography.

Harry Benson was one of the keynote speakers at the International Photo Festival Olten (IPFO) in Olten Switzerland.

Stephanie Pfriender Stylander's first book "The Untamed Eye" named The Best Professional Book (Monograph) in 2019 by the International Photography Awards (IPA)

Joel Grey’s The Flower Whisperer, on exhibition at the Staley-Wise Gallery until August 16, is an explosion of floral forms and bold colors. Closely cropped and intensely rich, these images surprise with unconventional dimensions and an intimate examination of familiar flowers. What’s even more surprising is that all of these images were taken on an iPhone.

Mr. Grey recently released his fifth book of photographs, “The Flower Whisperer,” published by PowerHouse Books. And he has opened a companion photo exhibition at Staley-Wise Gallery in SoHo.

The genres of fashion, portrait, art and landscape photography collide in an exhibition of Erik Madigan Heck (b. 1983) at Staley-Wise Gallery. They are tied together by the central presence of fashion – shaping each composition by a distinct relationship to colour, pattern, pose and garment. In most cases, though, the faces are obscured – whether by the subject’s stance or various pictorial elements. This strikes the viewer from the first room, which features large-format photographs of women with their backs turned. Colour delivers another punch, highly saturated and jewel-toned, popping off of the white walled gallery space.

Minimalistic yet chic, elegant yet bold, meticulously planned yet so fun—that is the dynamic that Erik Madigan Heck employs in his compelling images. His incisive painter’s eye with a talent in selecting bright color schemes and ornate patterns, his artistic style is remarkably refreshing in an industry that is so heavily inundated. From the flood of florals in James Harden’s latest GQ shoot, to the obscured faces of fashion models and his preference for natural light; Heck’s photography is striking for his incorporation of unexpected elements that elevates and almost purifies the purpose of fashion photography.

Currently photographer David LaChapelle is exhibiting his series titled, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” at Staley Wise Gallery. David’s photographs center around pop-culture iconic portraiture. David has permanent work in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery and Los Angeles County Museum of Art. From the press release, “The selected photographs not only showcase the famous in defining moments of their careers, but also serve as a mirror to our own obsessions and curiosities with fame itself.” Exhibition runs through March 2, 2019.

“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” is the first exhibition of David LaChapelle’s work at Staley-Wise Gallery in more than ten years. Many of the works included have never been previously exhibited.
