RIP RICKY

Without doubt, Ricky Powell’s most iconic photograph and the most sought after variant from this series; New York Yankees Grand slam edition.

These are becoming incredibly sought after and hard to find. Mostly held in private collections.

Ricky was the foremost pop culture photographer for nearly forty years.

I ALSO HAVE “THE SUPER MODEL” (Cindy Crawford) Los Angeles Dodgers variant.

We are pleased to offer archival framing services on any of our pieces. If you would like your piece framed prior to shipment, simply enquire.

In Ricky’s words;
"This photo was shot in fall of 1985 around 6pm in New York City on Mercer between Houston & Prince at the opening for Jean-Michel Basquait & Andy Warhol's show at Tony Shafrazi Gallery. I was taking some photos of Zephyr & Revolt, and that was a huge thrill for me, because they were like Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. I saw Basquait & Warhol coming diagonally across the street on Houston street towards the gallery so I skedaddled across the street & I shrugged my shoulders & said 'You guys mind if i get a flick? please?' Then Basquait looked at Warhol & said Yea he's cool.' So they stopped & posed for me. I said thanks & they went back into this big crowd that was waiting for them. So this was the jump-off point for me. I went back to Zephyr & Revolt and I said 'Shit! That's going to be a good one boy? In essence, I think it was meant to be, for me to do what I did, and to continue to do what i do. I shot two dynamic duos in a minute there. I Just had a natural knack for it. This picture has turned out to be a very classic and iconic image to say the least. After this photo i made the proclamation that i was going to take pictures until the day I die. I figure that all I have to do is step out my door and the images are infinite. The possibilities are infinite, it can never run out." - Ricky Powell
