1970réf. 155474N.p.: N.p. 1970. Collection of twelve vintage oversize double weight photographs eleven vintage contact sheets and six vintage photographs taken by noted fashion photographer Ara Gallant. Photographer's stamp on the versos. Gallant began his career in high fashion as a hairstylist for Vogue in the early 1960s becoming the first stylist to be paid solely to style hair by a magazine. He was best known for perfecting the "flying hair" technique most memorably captured on a portrait of Twiggy in 1968. During his tenure at Vogue he worked with a number of prominent photographers including Richard Avedon and Irving Penn and his work was featured on 26 Vogue covers in total. Gallant would begin working as a photographer in the 1970s succeeding Sari Marks as staff photographer for the fashion magazine Ambiance. Gallant became well known around New York for his personal style as much as his photographs sporting all black from head to toe wearing high heeled cowboy boots and a Japanese schoolboy hat lining his eyes with black kohl and frequenting Andy Warhol's Studio 54. By the 1980s drug use and financial troubles would force Gallant to sell his apartment in the West End relocating to Los Angeles where he would pursue an ultimately unsuccessful career in the film industry. The photographs in the collection taken throughout the 1970s feature a who's who of contemporary celebrities and are shot in Gallant's typically fantastical and glamorous style with an androgynous bent and of course distinctive hair. Gallant would enjoy a period of renewed interest after a collection of his styling and photographic work was published by Damiani in 2010 edited by David Wills. Photographs ranging from 6.25 x 7.75 inches to 11 x 14 inches. Near Fine to Very Good plus. N.p. unknown books

A New York juvenile court judge Thomas MItchell hears a case of a 15 year-old girl Pauline Hehn caught with a 47 year-old man and reveals in flashback the girl's neglectful parents and her life's downward-spiral which lead to prostitution and abortion.
