Zusatzinfo

"The Michael Hoppen Gallery is delighted to announce an exhibition of enduring photographs from both the John Kobal Foundation encapsulating the golden era of Hollywood.

Spanning a period of over 25 years the exhibition will include portraits of Greta Garbo, Marlon Brando, Marlene Dietrich, Grace Kelly, and Rita Hayworth - the bold and the beautiful. Captured in dramatic black and white by photographers Clarence Sinclair Bull, George Hurrell, Laszlo Willinger, Ted Allan and ER Richee amongst others, these portraits immortalised the stars of yesteryear. Such studio portraits and film stills made a significant contribution to the Hollywood Film Industry of the period especially in the heyday of the studio system (1920 - 1950) by transforming mere actors and actresses into cultural and style icons."
