Last one remaining!
A Cowboy Kate favourite. In the previous pages Kate is seen dressing to go to the saloon and then, moments later, there she is, cycling naked down the boardwalk. At that moment she didn’t have a care in the world, little did she know she was heading straight into a miscarriage of justice. How she extricated herself established Kate - without the help of any men - as a fictional heroine. Sam often loved to weave light hearted wry humour and unexpected juxtaposition into serious photography and this image is a perfect example of that.
“Every art director’s shelf looks empty without it”Jonathan Heaf writing in 2007 about Cowboy Kate (1964) as part of an article for COS on the most influential fashion, style and design books of the last 100 years.This image was recently copied by Tom Ford for the video promotion of their new male fragrance, Ombré Leather Parfum.
Print Specs: This is a 10” x 12” (29.0cm x 40.0cm) print, a classic size for the archive. A Vintage silver gelatin print, produced by Sam in-house in 1963. Slightly cropped on the right from the version that appears in ‘Cowboy Kate & Other Stories’ (1964).
Condition: The print is in excellent condition. The images are not generic, they are produced from the print referred to in this listing.
Rarity: As with many images in the archive, Sam’s profilic creativity was never directed towards volume printing. There are only two known copies of this print at this scale and this is the last available copy at this size.
Unique Offer: Every buyer of our vintage silver gelatin prints receives a contemporary copy of the same print entirely for free with a view to making ownership more flexible. These prints which we normally sell for $1,350 occasionally come onto the secondary market for up to double or more that price. They are meticulously retouched and printed in-house on museum grade Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta paper. The scale is the same as our estate standard size inkjet prints which are 24 inches (61.0cm) on the long axis.
Provenance: All prints sold by the estate including vintage and posthumous works are accompanied by detailed certificates of provenance which we call PIN (Print Identification Number) Certificates. The prints and the certificates are connected by a unique five figure hand written number on the reverse which is photographed and reproduced on the certificates. To the best of our knowledge this system is unmmatched in the industry.
Shipping and Tariffs: All prints in the archive ship for free including packing and insurance. Our USA clients are routinely subject to little or no tariffs.
Assistance with Collecting: The best way to get a super personalised service with generous support in every sense is to contact me directly ludwig@haskins.com
Sourcing the Book: Copies in various formats and editions can be found on Abebooks. Here’s the Abebooks link for Cowboy Kate. Prices on Abebooks vary from US$ 41,737.70 (not a typo) to US$15.00. The estate have a handful of copies of the 1975 limited edition which was based on the 1964 printing but bound a decade later. See the books section of this site.
