#FlashbackFriday . . . Here is a beautiful poster that Staley-Wise Gallery produced for the “Louise Dahl-Wolfe: Form and Fashion” exhibition at the gallery in 1983. Staley-Wise Gallery continues to represent Dahl-Wolfe’s work, which is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the J. Paul Getty Museum in California, among others. “I stole the chance to portray nudes wherever I could. This was actually a fashion shoot for bathing suits, but I got the model to pose nude for me; she had to put the towel around her head against the burning heat of the Mojave” - Louise Dahl-Wolfe, from “A Photographer’s Scrapbook” (St. Martin’s / Marek), 1984 Poster featuring “California Desert, 1948” by Louise Dahl-Wolfe Size: 20x27 inches / 51x69 cm Printed 1983 $75 #staleywise #louisedahlwolfe #formandfashion #1983 #poster #photography #photographer #fashion #fashionphotography #art #fineart #pose #woman #MoMa #JPaulGetty #sand #california #desert #gallery #soho #newyork #nyc
