Linda McCartney achieved her breakthrough while working as an editorial assistant at Town & Country, when her candid photographs of a Rolling Stones promotional event were published as her first magazine commission. This led to further assignments, including work at the Fillmore East in New York, where she photographed musicians such as B.B. King, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and members of The Who. Throughout her career, she worked across a wide range of subjects, from music and celebrity portraiture to family life, landscapes, and interiors. A particularly personal strand of her work centers on her husband Paul McCartney, often depicted in intimate, informal settings and at work as a painter. The present image, made toward the end of her life, belongs to this later phase; her photographs are now held in major public collections, including the National Portrait Gallery. – A few handling dents, one stronger in lower mid portion, otherwise in very good condition.

Pierre Molinier developed a highly personal body of work centered on staged self-portraits and photomontages, using his own body as both subject and material. Closely aligned with Surrealism, his practice explores fetishism, gender ambiguity, and erotic desire through fragmentation, repetition, and theatrical mise-en-scène. Working largely outside institutional frameworks, Molinier blurred the boundary between artist and model, anticipating later developments in body art and performance-based photography. – Corners minimally bumped, otherwise in excellent condition.

Before photography became Ernestine Ruben’s main interest, completely different areas of art, especially dance and sculpture, shaped her life and work. Her photographic work shows clear traces of this. By means of reduction and minimalization, Ernestine Ruben finds her individual form of expression, which ranges from simple representation to total abstraction. Often only a second glance is able to unravel her composition of forms, her play with light and shadow of movement and counter-movement, of the human and the natural. Her work has been exhibited and collected extensively in Europe and Asia as well as the United States. – In very good condition.
