Haskins Posters - Front Cover Image
Haskins Posters Front Cover is one Sam’s most recognisable images from the 70’s
This is a unique print in that Sam did not physically crop this copy to the same tight narrow crop used in the book and on the cover. A collector could frame it as is or ask their framer to cut the passepartout to match the book crop. This is the only remaining print that offers that option.
The buyer of this print will also receive a free pristine copy of the original book.
‘Haskins Posters’ (1972) won two Golden Pencils at the NY One Show in 1974. One for the photography and one for the book design. Just to be clear the photography was produced and art directed by Sam and he also designed the book. However the striking cover was designed by Alan Fletcher one of the partners at the legendary Pentagram design agency in London.
Silver Gelatin prints (both vintage and later) acquired directly from the estate are accompanied by a free estate print of the same image. These are identical to our standard size estate prints. To the best of our knowledge we are the only photographic estate in the world offering this generous flexible feature of owning a vintage work by Sam. These estate prints are produced to museum standards and appear on the secondary market with values up to USD $3,000. This second print has proved to be very popular, it provides flexibility of ownership and makes for a wonderful gift.
With reference to silver gelatin prints, Lifetime prints are either ‘true vintage’ (printed within a year of producing the image) or ‘later’, meaning within Sam’s lifetime. With Sam’s career that could be anytime up to 2001 when he ceased to have his own in-house wet darkroom. Sam was an early adopter of digital tools in the mid 1990’s and the estate does have a small stock of signed pigment works but all the prints in this section are silver gelatin.

““Each generation has a different definition of what beauty is, through his work of the 1960’s Sam Haskins would help to redefine what it was to be a beautiful women.”.
