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 and a free pigment print of the same image (see below).
The exact same print (cropped to match the book) sold at Sotheby’s in Paris 4 years ago for €11K
Size: Actual Image: 38.05cm x 25.70cm (14.98” x 10.12”) Suggested Passepartout Crop: 38.05cm x 23.00cm (14.98” x 9.05”) Please refer to the crop guide image on this page which should be shown to the buyer’s framer. The translucent red area indicats what should be covered by the passepartout. Optionally the estate can crop the image physically but I imagine that a some collectors will want to retain the entire print behind the passepartout.
Condition: Excellent condition. True vintage, Image 1971, Print 1971. Small corner creases top left and bottom right, both within the margins.
Rarity: One of two remaining prints (from a stock of 6 at the time of Sam’s death) where the pose matches the cover shot on ‘Haskins Posters and the print is uncropped. One other print cropped to match the book .There are also two pose variants left from the same cover shoot.
‘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.”.
