Hollywood Muses Lead the Upcoming Artelisted LACP Benefit Auction

The upcoming LACP Benefit Auction, presented by Artelisted, will offer Hollywood (Evan Rachel Wood) by photographer Ellen von Unwerth. The available limited-edition photograph reflects von Unwerth’s preference for presenting her models on their own terms. Von Unwerth is well-known for her sensual images of models and pop stars. Her Hollywood muses include prominent names like Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, and Adriana Lima. Explaining the feminine viewpoint of her pictures, von Unwerth explains, “The women in my pictures are always strong, even if they are also sexy.” 

Additional featured photographs include portraits of Hollywood stars Farrah Fawcett and Leonardo DiCaprio from the lenses of Matthew Rolston and Cliff Watts, respectively. Another highlight is an original artistic photograph titled Covid-19 by National Geographic photographer Stephen Wilkes. Shot in April of 2020, early in the coronavirus pandemic, the image portrays Wilkes’ beloved New York City during the evening hours. The picture offers an aerial view of the Empire State Building. Lit up in red and white, it pays tribute to the service and sacrifices of frontline workers.

The upcoming sale will also showcase a black-and-white documentary-style composition by photographer Brandon Thibodeaux. Christmas Tree is an eclectic mix of fine art and elements of the American South captured in a square frame. The auction will also offer photographic works by Matthew Rolston, Marjorie Salvaterra, Robert Farber, Paul Zone, David Gibson, and Edgar Acero.
