In August 1967, a 50-year-old Irving Penn rented a building in Sausalito, California—a picturesque Bay Area enclave straddling San Francisco—with north-facing windows and made it his studio. The renowned photographer—who, by that time, had already established himself as a foremost image-maker of his generation, revolutionizing fashion and portrait photography as we know it today—was on assignment formagazine to document S.F.’s Summer of Love.
, are now part of an expansive retrospective of Penn’s seven-decade oeuvre. Originally shown at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, “Irving Penn” has traveled back to the Bay, landing at San Francisco’s de Young Museum from March 16 through July 21. This iteration of the exhibition features a newly enhanced section dedicated to Penn’s photographs from the 1967 Summer of Love, but that’s far from the only draw.
With more than 195 photographs mounted, the show is the most comprehensive gathering of Penn’s works to date, exploring not only his masterful photos of Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, Issey Miyake, Truman Capote, and Joan Didion, but also his arresting still lifes, which bookend his career. Below, browse through a selection of the works on view at “Irving Penn.”
