Jack Nicholson
Est: $2,625 - $4,125
Lynn Goldsmith's imagery is in numerous collections: The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, The Museum of Modern Art, The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Photography, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Museum Folkwang, The Polaroid Collection, The Kodak Collection, etc. Her work over the past 50 years in the editorial world has appeared on and between the covers of Life, Newsweek, Time, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, National Geographic Traveler, Sports Illustrated, People, Elle, Interview, The New Yorker, etc. The subjects have varied from entertainment personalities to sports stars, from film directors to authors, from the extra-ordinary to the ordinary man on the street. Winning numerous prestigious awards from the Lucien Clergue to the World Press in Portraiture, she considers herself extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to make her passion of a quest into the nature of identity and the human spirit into her living. Thirteen books of Lynn's imagery have been published. One of which, New Kids, was onThe New York Times Best Seller list, a rare occurrence for any coffee table book of photography. She's also received two New York Art Direction awards. Lynn's professional achievements are in no way limited to the world of photography. In 1969 for Electra Records, she created the bio-disk,' won a Clio for one of the radio spot she produced, and worked on the first films of recording artists to be used for promotion. She is the youngest woman member ever to be accepted into the DGA (Director's Guild of America). In 1971, she was a director of Joshua Television, the first company to do video magnification for rock groups entertaining at large venues. In 1972, she was a director for the first rock show on network television: ABC's In Concert. In 1973, Lynn directed We're An American Band, the first music documentary to be released as a theatrical short. In the mid-seventies, Lynn stopped directing to concentrate on co-managing one of rock's biggest bands at the time, Grand Funk. What she never stopped doing was making images with her camera. By the early 80's Lynn expanded her creativity to become the first optic-music' artist. Using the a.k.a. Will Powers, she wrote and produced the album Dancing For Mental Health released on Island Records. Working with acclaimed musicians Sting, Steve Winwood, Todd Rundgren and Nile Rodgers, her debut album won critical acclaim and the single, Kissing With Confidence, reached #3 on the British charts. As was her plan, the videos from the album which she produced and directed became more than commercials for the record. They were used by the United States Department of Labor to inspire unemployed youths, and by the National Marriage Counsel in England. Will Powers' videos have also been used by Harvard University to help with language instruction, and by other schools throughout the United States for their individual teaching needs. The Museum of Modern Art in New York City has two Will Powers videos in their permanent collection. Lynn was among the first to do 3-dimensional computer animation which she used in her 1983 video, Adventures in Success. The roots of her music came from the experience of being in a band, The Walking Wounded, while attending the University of Michigan where she graduated in 3 years Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in both English and Psychology. Lynn considers herself a self-taught artist and entrepreneur. Others have considered her to be a pioneer in numerous areas of the arts as well as in business. She was the founder of the first photo agency which focused on celebrity portraiture, LGI, an organization which represented the work of over two hundred worldwide photographers. Established in 1976, when news photography was what photo agencies focused on, Lynn seemed to know before others that the magazine appetite would change from world events to coverage of the biggest names in movies and music. LGI was sold in 1997 as Lynn saw the digital future changing the course and wanted to work on new ideas, one of which is what we now call The Selfie-Stick. The wide range of Lynn's talents, skills and achievements are products of a belief she holds constant: Creativity is based on breaking limiting thought patterns, busting through fear, taking risks, and persistently working hard toward your goals, if the individual wants to maximize their potential for a full life. The artwork will be shipped with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by White Cross Arts. -#178 Specifications Artist: Lynn Goldsmith Medium: Digital Print Dimensions: 20" x 16" Category: Black and White Photography Period: 2000-2009 Internal ID: 178

Note: Description Updated 11/23. Bruce Springsteen. B&W, c. 1977-78. Fiber-based silver gelatin. Older print. Framed. Bruce Springsteen sitting on an old mattress in an attic. Signed and inscribed in ink to Neil Leifer by photographer, "For Neil, Hoping your mattress is never empty!" 11 x 14in. This framed work has been professionally framed by Mr. Leifer's preferred framer. The frame is handsome, created in a simple, modern design much preferred by museums. The woods is a light, natural shade; the glazing is a UV plexiglass of the highest quality; the backing board is generally a sheet of foam core. Many framed items also include a white matte. Framed works will be sold as-is, in frame. It is the bidders responsibility to remove the print from the frame if they so desire. More information on the specific framing can be provided by the auction house upon request. The photographs in this auction have been examined by an expert, whose opinions pertaining to the age of the prints, the printing process, and the type of paper used, are included in the description of each photograph. Although Guernsey’s believes these descriptions to be accurate, interested buyers are urged to personally inspect the prints either at the public preview or by appointment with Guernsey’s. As with all items in this auction, all lots are being sold as is.
