Garry Winogrand’s "Women Are Better Than Men. Not Only Have They Survived, They Do Prevail" is a series of 15 gelatin silver prints taken between 1969-1980, demonstrating his mastery of candid street photography and his focus on the evolving roles of women during a transformative era in American culture. The series celebrates women’s individuality, aligning with its evocative title that suggests a commentary on gender dynamics. While praised for its raw and spontaneous portrayal of women in public spaces, it has also drawn critique for reflecting the male gaze, with some arguing that it objectifies its subjects rather than empowering them. Regardless of interpretation, the series remains a compelling document of its time, reflecting both Winogrand’s artistic vision and the evolving discourse on gender and society in the late 20th century.⁠ – Light traces of mounting in corners, minimal silver mirroring along print edges, otherwise in near excellent condition.

The Big Three Conference, Yalta. 1945. Vintage ferrotyped gelatin silver print. 14 x 19,2 cm. Typed press text label on the verso.

This rare photograph captures a moment in the conference room during the third meeting of the Three Powers at Livadia Palace, Yalta. Among those depicted are Marshal Joseph Stalin, M. Maisky, Admiral William Leahy, Secretary of State Edward Stettinius, advisor Harry Hopkins, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Held in February 1945, the Yalta Conference brought together the leaders of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union - Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin - to discuss the postwar reorganization of Germany and Europe. The goal was to establish a framework for peace, collective security, and the self-determination of liberated nations. Though intended to shape a stable postwar order, the agreements reached at Yalta soon became a source of contention as the Cold War divided the continent. The conference took place in the Crimean palaces of Livadia, Yusupov, and Vorontsov. – Some handling dents/creases, traces of two punch holes in right edge, some mirroring in a few dark areas, otherwise in good condition.

Details

Untitled (The Book of PTT). Early 1930s. Vintage ferrotyped gelatin silver print on Velox paper. 17,2 x 12,2 cm. Photographer's stamp and annotated in pencil on the verso. Matted and framed under glass.

In 1930, Piet Zwart was commissioned to design The Book of PTT, an educational publication aimed at teaching Dutch schoolchildren how to use the postal system. To make the material engaging, he created two paper doll characters - ‘The Post’ and ‘J. Self’ - which he photographed and enhanced with chalk, ink and colored pencil. This image is part of that series, reflecting Zwart’s innovative fusion of photography, illustration and graphic design. – A few light handling dents, otherwise in very good condition.
