About the Item

Presenting an original black and white photograph captured in the 1980s by Liverpudlian photographer John Stoddart, featuring the iconic Liverpool band, Frankie Goes To Hollywood. This signed print, produced in 2008, is a testament to the band's era-defining presence in the music scene. The photograph captures Holly and Paul, members of the band, adorned in leather S M attire, confidently posing for the camera. This striking image, recently featured in the National Museums Liverpool Pride Prejudice LGBT+ collection, offers a glimpse into the bold and unapologetic side of self-expression within the LGBTQ+ community. This photograph, part of a limited edition of 10, is a large archival rag print, with the artist's signature adorning the bottom. John Stoddart, renowned for his portraits of famous personalities, skillfully captures the essence of this historic moment. Hailing from Liverpool and a former Grenadier Guard, Stoddart brings a unique perspective to his craft. This photograph not only commemorates a pivotal moment in music and LGBTQ+ history but also stands as a powerful representation of artistic freedom and self-identity. Whether displayed as a tribute to a legendary band or as an emblem of cultural significance, it remains a captivating piece of contemporary history.

Michael Roberts Original Photograph "Michel Nude" Hamilton s London, 1989
By Michael Roberts
Located in Palm Springs, CA
MICHAEL ROBERTS (1947-2023) PLEASE NOTE: This photograph is a one of a kind original photograph. Every photograph in the show was available to purchase, and only one of each was printed. This large black and white hand printed silver gelatin photograph of "Michel Nude" by the legendary fashion icon, Michael Roberts, London. This image was part of a Michael Roberts show in 1989 at Hamilton's gallery, London. Signed on back. Black metal simple frame. Image: 15" x 19", framed: 22' x 26". This image is one of two that were in the gallery show in London. The images from the show were very rare and now highly sought after and collected after Mr. Robert's death but there are NONE available to purchase. These two images were purchased from that Exhibit from Hamiltons. The second one, "Nude of Michel" is available on separate listing. We hope they are purchased together as they were hung next to each other in the exhibit. MICHAEL ROBERTS: The preferred medium of the fashion journalist Michael Roberts was Canson art paper, which he scissored freehand into crisp-cut collages, or snipped into minute dots to reassemble into mosaics, for magazine covers or book illustrations. His art, bit by bit putting it together, reflected his life in fashion. He wrote about it, commissioned unexpected others to do so, photographed for media and ads, and charmed cranky legendary lensmen into snapping for him. He could source the clothes, choose the crazy locale, stage the shoot’s story, and write a witty critique of the enterprise. He was also always the most elegant person involved, effortlessly cool. Roberts, who has died aged 75, never bothered with a résumé, since every new role or venture seemed to just develop, but they totted up to a serious career. He was a writer on the Sunday Times in the 1970s, when new couture catwalk drama and heightened designer celebrity demanded a fashion voice that was both theatre critic and gossip columnist. Then from 1979 he was art and style director of Tatler magazine, when the editor, Tina Brown...

Bellas was well known under the pseudonym Bruce of Los Angeles. History and influence Bruce Harry Bellas was born in Alliance, Nebraska on July 7, 1909. He worked as a chemistry teacher there until 1947, when he began photographing bodybuilders in Los Angeles, California, beginning with taking pictures of bodybuilding competitions.
