watutsi Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 my mum was photographed by Penn 1948 in Florence. I have the photo in storage back in Canada. Fantastic 6969jay : thankyou for sharing that I have seen this portrait of your mother many times before either in books or exhibitions wow i wished i owned an Irving Penn Penn was definitely amongst the "Best of the Best" and although he was usually regarded as a "fashion & people " photographer, i personally regard him as the greatest "still life" photographer ever Despite his age he was still working & Vogue continued to commission him There was a truly jaw dropping still life of decaying bananas as recently as 2 months ago style style style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69690jay Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 With some regret but great anticipation I have put my Penn up for sale with Christies in New York. Sale is on the 6th October...... here is the link http://www.christies...01-f569f2fed532 After some searching i got my uncle to look through some boxes from my grandmother and he came across a letter and many multiples from the sitting back in 1947! Making for a very special vintage collection of Penns work. on another note i purchased my first dslr a used Olympus e500 results are much better than the Olympus sp350 point and shoot i had stolen a few weeks ago.
