LEE FRIEDLANDER | NEW YORK CITY (STORE WINDOW)

The photographs offered in this and the next lot come from the collection of Charlotte Gordon, mixed media artist, sculptor, and one of the first female Art Directors in the New York magazine industry. In the 1950s as Art Director for Seventeen Magazine, Gordon worked closely with artists such as Andy Warhol, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander, Joel Meyerowitz, and R. O. Blechman. Gordon and her husband Harry, the inventor of Poster Dresses, formed a close, lifelong friendship with Friedlander and his wife, Maria. This bond continued in the decades after the Gordon family moved to Europe in the 1960s through visits and the exchange of letters and artwork.
