Exclusive offering COMMISSIONED PRIVATE PORTRAIT<br />
harry benson<br />
Scottish-born photographer Harry<br />
Benson arrived in America with the<br />
Beatles in 1964. One could say his<br />
entire career has been intertwined<br />
with history-making individuals and<br />
events. In addition to photographing<br />
every U.S. president from Eisenhower<br />
to Obama, he was just feet away<br />
from Bobby Kennedy the night he<br />
was assassinated; in the room with<br />
Richard Nixon when he resigned;<br />
next to Coretta Scott King at her<br />
husband’s funeral; in Berlin when the<br />
Wall went up and when it fell; and in<br />
New Orleans during the aftermath of<br />
Hurricane Katrina.<br />
Ali Hits George, Miami, 1964<br />
live auction<br />
Benson was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2009. Other awards<br />
include the American Photo Magazine Award for Achievement in Photography, the Lucie Award<br />
for Lifetime Achievement in Portrait Photography, the Scottish Press Photographers Association’s<br />
Lifetime Achievement Award and the Leica Medal of Excellence (twice).<br />
Under contract to Life magazine from 1970–2000, he currently works with Vanity Fair and Newsweek<br />
among other publications. Benson’s work has been the subject of 40 gallery solo exhibitions, and 14<br />
books of his photographs have been published, including his latest, New York New York.<br />
