      Gelatin silver print, printed later 23,3 x 35,5 cm (9.2 x 14 in) Signed, annotated and dated by the photographer in pencil on the reverse LITERATURE Anna Auer/Kunsthalle Wien (eds.), Übersee. Flucht und Emigration Österreichischer Fotografen 1920-1940, Vienna 1997, p. 222; Interview with Lisl Steiner March 7th 2014. Born in Vienna, Lisl Steiner emigrated to Buenos Aires with her family in 1938. She worked in the South American film industry before turning to photo journalism. As a reporter, she worked for Argentinean and Brazilian magazines, later also for The New York Times, Life and Time Magazine. From 1949 onwards, Steiner photographed many artists, musicians and other celebrities. The present photograph was taken in a lockerroom of the football club New York Cosmos in 1975. Because of her good contacts and her acquaintance with Pelé, Steiner got access to locations normally barred to women. The only woman present here, she documented a warm embrace between two great personalities in a photograph. We have here the famous supporter of the club, Henry Kissinger, and on the other hand the world star Pelé, the first to bring a certain glamour to US football, a relatively unpopular sport at the time. The photograph Steiner took with a Leica M3 and a 35 mm lens clearly shows the edges of the negative, with its perforations barely visible - less as a proof of the completeness of the shot, rather as a conscious stylistic decision.
