Détails du Lot
Titled in stamp, and with photogrpaher's stamp, verso.
Bunny Yeager (American, 1929-2014) La Raine Meeres (In the Tub), 1957 Toned gelatin silver print 14 x 11 inches (35.6 x 27.9 cm) (image/sheet) Titled in stamp, and with photographer's stamp, verso. From the collection of Grapefruit Moon Gallery When Cab Callaway brought his Cotton Club Revue to Miami Beach in the winter of 1957, Yeager photographed one of the featured dancers, La Raine Meeres, in an extended session where Meeres posed for Yeager leaning against a high-end sports car, sunning poolside at an area hotel, and eventually fully nude. The context of Miami at the time this shoot was taken enriches the power of these images. Nightclubs across the country, and in Miami in particular were highly contested sites in the fight for desegregation. In 1955, Lena Horne broke her contract to perform for a week at the Miami Beach Copa City, making national headlines citing Jim Crow laws in Miami Beach and musing "hell, someday they'll learn." The shots of Meers, often taken from a low angle, show her as a towering, magnetic, powerful presence in a city which was still deeply hostile to her presence. This work is published in Whitestone's Bunny Yeager Photographs 50 New Models. HID12401132022 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
Overall good condition. Creasing throughout sheet and crazing in bottom left corner. Faint silver mirroring to darker areas of the image. Edge chipping and bumps to the corners. Sheet is loose, not framed.
