Model with Tattoo 1920-s, yet Not a Man Ray
Posted on May 24, 2022
While recently an iconic Man Ray print ( Le Violon d’Ingres) sold for $12.4 million at Christie’s, nearly tripling the record for the most expensive photograph ever sold at auction, our vintage print from an anonymous photographer, produced for Underwood& Underwood in the same time period, is available at an easier affordable price.
The tattoos on the back of the model showing a mouse, a cat and a dog are of symbolic character and we wonder, whether the model and photographer were either aware of the Man Ray image, or whether it was just a coincidence, that the pose of the model, styling and visual appeal show such a similar approach.
If you are interested in acquiring the image, please contact us at mail@omc-llc.com
Thank you for your interest.

Chapeau for C.A.V.E and Ralph Ziman’s Ghosts at Photo L.A.
Posted on January 17, 2015
I love galleries, which show courage, because I know how hard and risky that is under commercial terms. And focusing on one artist while making on top also a political statement, needs even more courage. C.A.V.E. gallery from Venice Beach deserves your visit at Photo LA exactly for that. Intriguing presentation, dense, moving and relevant and contemporary.
What else did we like…well the fact that a lot of Dealers actually put prices up with the presented work – we thought, was very consumer friendly.
What did we miss? More galleries, which make a clear statement, theme or artist focused, rather than flooding you with a myriad of images from different artists of different quality. This would also help sharpen the profile of the event itself.
Check it out…to create your own opinion and share it!
