One from 1959 asks that the recipient phone Con Edison and complain about an unusually high electric bill ($54.92). Another requests a shipment of beloved New York cigars because of apparent dissatisfaction with the options available in Europe. At least one, written from the Regina-Palast Hotel in Munich, Room 551, starts to provide a hint of the sender.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOr12DeP1qcpj-X4eKjo5LhNeMdt5sVwWfaKcK2GW-j8Ydv2dLBZsf-Gl7IZjxWxec3NnyRPMvtf0VDiJjLzZkOvFojcg-q16tA5SyAgErWA6I9dlNMyoPqi6h4Sb3rR3UxFnx12OA3fU/s1600/weegee9.jpg" alt="[weegee9.jpg]" border="0" /><br /><br />“Looks like the picture won’t be finished on time,” the letter explains. “It rains every day and we can’t find 2 midgets, so it looks like I’ll be here at least 2 more weeks.”<br />The letters, along with 210 vintage black-and-white photographic prints, were found in 2003 in a zebra-stripe trunk that was bought at a yard sale in Kentucky by two Indiana women who were on their way back from a camping trip. One of the women simply liked the look of the trunk, and when she found old clothes, yellowed papers and pictures inside, she thought about throwing the contents away.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu-FDMOYerkMjBlIKCJJRRy38CNt8rZVIOLQn0BhkbIvJHVWzH6Q94iMEWZKa24wsocCQJ2-bGcXg88tcrWDuEJ9ByLrfQdI0cptK9x5Cmczw4uTa8WvbA6xyhCdydONG1h5ELOYqnd4U/s1600/weegee10.jpg" alt="[weegee10.jpg]" border="0" /><br /><br />But she took them instead to an Indianapolis rare-documents dealer. And this week the Indianapolis Museum of Art plans to announce that it has acquired a trove of work and correspondence by Weegee, the crepuscular, stogie-smoking New York photographer whose visceral pictures became a template not only for artists like Diane Arbus but also for much of the uncomfortably close tabloid imagery that exists today. The museum described the acquisition as a partial gift and partial purchase from the dealer.<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjD7FDNuA45Uxi-pdi0fyIrW39wLO3xRPhcQHrMRbtVdP3MnWIHDMjfX9GP-jggOxssSYEVSj6boSjVXSSQb8ogjsbOUQPqEESpImj0BHTUq4IhEFzeGAZ7B0XA5leIqGDpUmzPQDUkGMo/s1600/weegee11.jpg" alt="[weegee11.jpg]" border="0" /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The trunk is assumed to have once been the possession of Wilma Wilcox</span>, a social worker who was Weegee’s companion and lived with him from 1957 until his death in 1968. Upon her death in 1993, she bequeathed the bulk of his work — thousands of prints and negatives — to the I C P in Manhattan. <span style="font-weight: bold;">How the trunk full of prints and 62 letters to Ms. Wilcox from Weegee</span> (born Usher Fellig in what is now Ukraine, and later known as Arthur Fellig) <span style="font-weight: bold;">ended up in Kentucky is a mystery that neither the Indianapolis Museum nor the dealer, Steve H. Nowlin, has solved.</span><br />The items include photographs spanning his career, as well as letters, postcards, newspaper clippings, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Weegee’s press passes and even his Social Security card</span>. And there are about three dozen portraits of Weegee taken by others, including photographers Philippe Halsman and Simon Nathan.<br /><br /><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZk8sdKq1aNUb4sjqu2KqQ5QmKq08bGdsH_Zmh4AM50EGTq4uZZ8-JIHlFpfv23aV0EhmCFT0bhaXw0T6_LJWY2ghidBAPbPLYf2Sv9USMET6xGcPb-eNlasej3wk7oDD_vCQQCRANVCI/s1600/weegee12.jpg" alt="[weegee12.jpg]" border="0" /><br /><br />“We’re just lucky that it all survived,” said Martin Krause, the museum’s curator of prints, drawings and photographs. “<span style="font-weight: bold;">The woman who found them thought maybe these were just old family snapshots or something</span> — though how you could mistake a Weegee for a family photograph, I don’t know.”<br />“People who work in the daytime are suckers,” he once said. Before the publication of his first book, “Naked City,” made him famous in 1945, he lived in a cheap room near police headquarters and was said to be so accustomed to working on the run that he once developed a picture of a prizefight in a subway motorman’s cab while rushing back to a newspaper office.<br />As his star rose in the 1950s and 1960s, he began to travel extensively, make experimental films and worked for other directors, some as illustrious as Stanley Kubrick, for whom he served as a consultant during the filming of “Dr. Strangelove.”<br />But as many of the newly discovered letters to Ms. Wilcox show, much of his film career was on a lower plane. The letter from Munich refers to his work on a 1958 quasi-documentary called “Windjammer,” the story of an epic sea journey filmed in something called Cinemiracle, a short-lived widescreen format. (In fact, very short-lived: “Windjammer” was the only movie to be shot with that method.)<br /><br />Nowlin said one series of photographs came from an exhibit of paintings by Pablo Picasso in London that the artist attended. “<span style="font-weight: bold;">Weegee befriended him and took pictures of Picasso</span>, and distorted pictures of Picasso’s distorted pictures.”<br /><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/God/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-20.jpg" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/God/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-21.jpg" alt="" /> <img style="width: 671px; height: 509px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8o0qSK6CtwFFkztcsR1aBhVRAyeWm-5Cj21N058O9XrxWxIHVAvT6NlRtM7TbxBxwXLbe8_C3umviQhL6dWVEuk7kP-SAwb8nYGuBykqVEt-fuYHfYzHH0l9sn7CWsTV8MwsMfAZAP0I/s1600/weegee_balcony_nakedcity.jpg" alt="[weegee_balcony_nakedcity.jpg]" border="0" /><br /><br /><img style="width: 664px; height: 891px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpkPN4MXI6bwV3JabcL5T_QHHf2gXtRakIeajGYH0FN5PcAqe1p4S2B1IMOhM7_tjMhOzv4OLE9wDfVsmXfPfQO3wxkNuoJc1hgnNciyFD_UW5nfDQaArcrtDL7DgPmY1mUxF1rTKluto/s1600/IMG_8025.JPG" alt="[IMG_8025.JPG]" border="0" /><br /><br />The murder site today:<br />10 Prince St. New York, N.Y. ca. 1939<br /><br />10 Prince St. New York, N.Y.

From the mid-1930s to 1950s he captured hundreds of pictures of accidents, murders, arrests, fires, and natural disasters, producing works that are both empathetic and sensational. This volume in the In Focus series presents approximately fifty of the ninety-five Weegee prints in the Getty Museum's collection, surveying the photographer's probing vision of life in New York—from Harlem to Times Square, Greenwich Village, and the Bowery. Each of the photographs is accompanied by an introduction, a chronology, and commentary.</p> <p>The book also includes an edited transcript of a colloquium on Weegee's life and work that incorporates the author's comments along with those of seven other participants: David Featherstone, Michael Hargraves, Weston Naef, Miles Orvell, Ira Richer, Colin Westerbeck, and Cynthia Young.</p> <p><i>In Focus: Weegee</i> was published to coincide with an exhibition of the photographer's work at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles that was on view from September 20, 2005, through January 22, 2006.</p> <p>Judith Keller is curator of photographs at the Getty Museum. </p>shadowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11825358375221319083noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283181967108406315.post-22627432043688686162008-11-29T23:27:00.000-08:002008-12-03T23:49:33.121-08:00FiresThe Gordon Archive houses a huge collection of original WeeGee shots.<br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.weegee.org/car_darkroom.jpg" naturalsizeflag="3" align="bottom" border="2" width="175" height="224" /><br /><br />The tonal quality of these negatives are, for the most part, quite stunning. All the more so when you realize that many were developed in the trunk of his car! Sadly, the lack of washing facilities and shortcuts taken to make deadlines have left many of them stained and discolored with mineral and chemical deposits. Many have also suffered from poor storage and mechanical damage. Where possible I have tried to include the entire negative including the damaged areas. A number of the negatives have grease pencil marks indicating the preferred cropping. On these I have also kept the entire image ignoring cropping marks in the hope that this will aid research. Some negatives, like the Chicago series (#64-#69) were cropped with black tape that can no longer be safely removed.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">(From WEEGEEWEEGEEWEEGEE.blogspot.com:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weegee</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">"He maintained a complete darkroom in the trunk of his car, to expedite getting his free-lance product to the newspapers."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">This is not exactly true.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">It's funny that this myth is perpetuated, since one of the most famous pictures of Weegee is him sitting at the trunk of his car and typing while holding a flashlight...

Now, Weegee not only had his photographs signed, but from time to time he could add text to his pictures or even write whole stories. He got exhibitions and up to the publication of his first book in 1945, <i>Nacked City</i>, Weegee stayed with <i>PM Daily</i>. His photobook was a huge success. Among Weegees favourite subjects was New York's night life, with its bars and all types of entertainment. Weegee showed <his> New York, in all its contrasts. Classes and culturs clashed in the nightly activities, such as in the third photograph on this page, <i>The Critic </i>(Nobember 22, 1943). Weegee cared about the ordinary people as much as about the high society and the stars. For a short time, Weegee experimented unsuccessfully with film in Hollywood in 1948. He returned to New York in 1952. In his later years, Weegee made also experiments with manipulated photographs. Among them is a series of disfigured heads of stars such as Marilyn Monroe or Jerry Lewis.<br /><br /></span><img alt="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/images/photoessay/weegee/weegee4.jpg" src="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/images/photoessay/weegee/weegee4.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img alt="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/images/photoessay/weegee/weegee3.jpg" src="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/images/photoessay/weegee/weegee3.jpg" /><br /> Girl jumped out of car, and was killed, on Park Avenue (c. 1940). <p>This picture shows a girl who leapt from a moving car on Park Avenue. Young says that she chose it in spite of the preponderance of Weegee shots of dead bodies. “This is a version we don’t know from other exhibitions,” she said. “This is a woman who’s fallen out of a cab and it’s poignant that, well, it’s a woman.” The victim’s body is enshrouded in a sheet, but her little black pocketbook remains in plain view.</p><img alt="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/images/photoessay/weegee/weegee6.jpg" src="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/images/photoessay/weegee/weegee6.jpg" /><br />Water Main Burst Uproots Madison Avenue (1938).<br /><br /><img alt="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/images/photoessay/weegee/weegee8.jpg" src="http://www.cbc.ca/arts/images/photoessay/weegee/weegee8.jpg" /><br />Circus Audience (c. 1943).<br /><br /><div id="photoImgDiv1844206250" style="width: 502px;" class="photoImgDiv"> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2212/1844206250_57e67ce4b5.jpg?v=0" alt="Weegee-the critic by jenkistler2000." title="" onload="show_notes_initially();" class="reflect" width="500" height="391" /><br /><br /><div id="photoImgDiv1843378093" style="width: 352px;" class="photoImgDiv"> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2064/1843378093_bca5755337.jpg?v=0" alt="we want beer by jenkistler2000." title="" onload="show_notes_initially();" class="reflect" width="350" height="255" /><br /><br /><div id="photoImgDiv1844204746" style="width: 502px;" class="photoImgDiv"> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2066/1844204746_499832fffb.jpg?v=0" alt="times square 1949 by jenkistler2000." title="" onload="show_notes_initially();" class="reflect" width="500" height="345" /><br /><h1 id="title_div1844204746" property="dc:title"><span style="font-size:78%;">times square 1949</span></h1><br /><img alt="http://www.leegallery.com/images/WeegeeL823bx.jpg" src="http://www.leegallery.com/images/WeegeeL823bx.jpg" />Crowd At Scene Of Accident<!--/title--><br /><!--date, type, when-->1940s, vintage silver print<!--/date, type, when--><br /><!--size, price--> 13 x 10.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.leegallery.com/images/WeegeeS1005bx.jpg" alt="" border="0" width="230" height="284" />WEEGEE<br /><!--title-->"Fireman"<!--/title--><br /><!--date, type, when-->1939, vintage silver print<!--/date, type, when--><br /><!--size, price--> 12 3/4 x 10 1/2.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.leegallery.com/images/Weegee-U1094.jpg" alt="" border="0" width="230" height="174" /><!--/image--> WEEGEE<br /><!--title-->The Human Cop<!--/title--><br /><!--date, type, when-->ca. 1950s, silver print, ca. 1950s<!--/date, type, when--><br /><!--size, price--> 10 3/8 x 13 9/16, "Credit Photo by Weegee the Famous" stamp, "Arthur Felig, 5 Center Market Place, New York City" stamp on print verso.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.leegallery.com/images/WeegeeT1462bx.jpg" alt="" border="0" width="230" height="177" /><!--/image--> WEEGEE<br /><!--title-->"Bowery Follies"<!--/title--><br /><!--date, type, when-->ca. 1945, silver print, ca. 1940s <!--/date, type, when--><br /><!--size, price--> 8 x 10 1/2, Notations in ink and in pencil, credit stamp and Arthur Feling stamp on verso.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.leegallery.com/images/Weegee-U1095.jpg" alt="" border="0" width="230" height="178" /><!--/image--> WEEGEE<br /><!--title-->Fire Victim<!--/title--><br /><!--date, type, when-->ca. 1950s, silver print, ca. 1950s<!--/date, type, when--><br /><!--size, price-->10 1/2 x 13 7/16, "Weegee, 451West 47th Street, New York City, USA, TEL: 265-1955" stamp, "Please Credit Weegee from Photo-Representatives" stamp on print verso.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amber-online.com/exhibitions/weegee-collection"><img src="http://www.amber-online.com/assets/606?crop=constrain&height=600&width=600" alt="" title="" border="0" /></a><br />Tenement fire, Harlem, 1942 <p>Mother and daughter looking up at the top floor, where another daughter and her baby are trapped.</p><p><br /></p><p><img alt="http://www.tfaoi.com/am/15am/15am79.jpg" src="http://www.tfaoi.com/am/15am/15am79.jpg" /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size:+1;">"There had to be a good meaty story," Weegee once said, "to get the editors to buy the pictures.

<br /><h1><a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,987652,00.html">Dames! Stiffs! Mugs!</a></h1>(excerpt of great article below)
<br /><p> <span style="font-style: italic;">Some photographers are the poets of purple mountains' majesty. Some are the poets of the placid suburbs. Weegee is the poet of small-timers who died facedown on a city pavement at 3 a.m. in a pool of their own blood. And petty mobsters. He was great at petty mobsters--half the guys in his pictures look as if their nickname was Mugsy. As one of the most unabashed tabloid-news photographers, Weegee was also supremely good at car crashes, dazed escapees from tenement fires, transvestites being hustled out of paddy wagons, and Peeping Tom shots of lovers wrestling in twos (and threes!) on the nighttime beach at Coney Island.</span></p> <!-- End Article Side Bar --> <p style="font-style: italic;">His prime years, from the mid-1930s to the late '40s, were the formative days of tabloid photography. The work Weegee did then makes up the better part of "Weegee's World: Life, Death and the Human Drama," the affecting and sizable (more than 200 prints) show on view at the International Center of Photography Midtown in New York City through Feb. 22. Accompanied by Weegee's World (Bulfinch; 262 pages; $75)--probably the fanciest book ever devoted to a man who generally had a cigar stuck in his mouth--the exhibit moves on later to Paris and London.</p>

That prompted a move to Hollywood, where Weegee hobnobbed with stars and got tiny acting parts in a few more films. But he never really fit into what he called “the Land of the Zombies” and moved back to Manhattan in 1951.His crime photography days were over. Until his death in 1968 he experimented with film and trick photography and toured the United States and Europe, giving lectures and enjoying his fame. In his travels he met Peter Sellers on the “Dr. Strangelove” movie set; an excerpt from an audiotaped conversation is on YouTube.<br /><br />In 1968 the theater and film director Syeus Mottel, who was experimenting with still photography, was walking in Washington Square Park with a girlfriend. “I see Weegee sitting on a bench looking very forlorn, with an old camera, really a piece of junk, hanging from his neck,” Mr. Mottel recently recalled. “When I asked if he had any advice for a young photographer, he said, ‘Yeah, sharp elbows.’ ” While the young woman charmed Weegee, Mr. Mottel took photographs. When it came time for dinner, Weegee suggested Bernstein-on-Essex, a kosher Chinese restaurant.<br /><br />In 1957, suffering from diabetes, Weegee took a small apartment at 451 West 47th Street in Hell’s Kitchen, a town house owned by his friend Wilma Wilcox, an amateur photographer. When he died he left the place crowded with equipment “and stacks and stacks of thousands of photos and negatives strewn about,” Mr. George said. “His philosophy of archiving was to keep everything in a barrel, so if anyone wanted anything, they’d come over and fish.” Much of that material came in the early 1990s to the International Center of Photography, which has mounted several exhibitions.“Along with everything else there was a cardboard box labeled ‘Weegee,’ ” Mr. George said. “It was opened several months after it arrived. Weegee was really in there.” It was his cremated remains. “Apparently some staffers got the heebie-jeebies from having the ashes around,” he said, “so I.C.P. arranged to have them dispersed at sea.”<br /><br /><br /><br />I need to alert my friend in Hubcap City and my ex-boss Lisa (both Weegee fans) that there is a good article about Weegee in the New York Times today. Of course, being Weegee fans, you two probably already know everything in it. My favorite part is the passing mention of "Norma Parker, the Broadway Gun Girl," who robbed restaurants with a cap pistol. I ought to look up more information about her, or better yet, someone else should do it while I lie down.<br /><br /><br />Another portrait, this one of Arthur Fellig, the crime photographer of the streets of New York City, was taken under a bare bulb in Fellig’s seedy hotel room. Bill didn’t know it at the time, nor perhaps did Fellig but Fellig was dying of a brain tumor.<br />Earlier in his career Fellig slept in his clothes, a police radio<br />nearby. When he heard a radio call about a crime serious enough for his attention, he raced to the scene, often beating the cops. His seeming uncanny ability to pop up out<br />of nowhere earned him the nick- name of Ouija. Fellig couldn’t spell, but liked it enough that he changed his name to Weegee the Famous, even stamping it on the back of his<br />prints. Weegee’s room was filled with stuff of all kinds.<br />There was no place to sit other than on Weegee’s single bed, so Bill stood. The room was packed with prints and photographic paraphernalia. Weegee was in and out of consciousness as Bill attempted to interview him.<br />Then, during one of Weegee’s more lucid moments, (which looks more than slightly deranged,) Bill caught him on camera under the glaring light of the single bare bulb above the bed. The look in Weegee’s eye says it all.<br />Of that moment, Bill says, “Weegee was obviously tiring so I left him, a sad sick old man, alone with his life’s work. I knew I would never see him, or his like, again.”<br /><br />Where was "Fellig’s seedy hotel room?"<br />Wilma's beautiful brownstone, neither seedy nor a hotel, at 451 West 47th St.shadowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11825358375221319083noreply@blogger.com0
