Specialist Notes:

David Bailey was a key player in the London 60s scene. He represented a new breed of photographer who not only shot but socialised with models, actors, pop stars and artists, and achieved cult status in his own right. The publication sale of his Box of Pin-Ups was a unique event for a photographer at that time. The portraits represented the new ‘popocracy’, the movers and shakers, so to speak, who had already achieved prominence in their respective fields and, who not least through Bailey’s images, themselves came to define the era.
