Eleven original photographs of Chubby Checker onstage, circa 1963

Beschreibung

Eleven double weight photographs of Chubby Checker in concert, taken by noted photographer Michael Montfort. Ten photographs bear the stamp of German weekly newspaper "Bild am Sonntag" crediting Montfort, and a separate 1963 date stamp. From the estate of Michael Montfort. Born in Freiburg, Germany, Michael Montfort began his career working as a photojournalist for German magazines such as "Stern," "Quick," and "Bild am Sonntag." In addition to shooting numerous rock and jazz performances, he covered Queen Elizabeth's 1965 visit to Germany, the aftermath of the Six Day War in Israel and Egypt, and the May 1968 protests in Paris. Montfort emigrated to Los Angeles in 1973 and began working as a freelancer. Four years later, on assignment for the German literary magazine "Rogners," Montfort was sent to photograph Charles Bukowski. Aided by the case of wine he smartly brought with him to their first meeting, Montfort connected with the publicity-shy and splenetic poet. Over the next two decades, as both Bukowski's drinking buddy and personal photographer, he shot thousands of images of Bukowski, and collaborated with the writer on titles such as "Horsemeat," "Shakespeare Never Did This," and "The Wedding." Montfort also shot notable photographs of luminaries such as William S. Burroughs, Klaus Kinski, Brigitte Bardot, and a Jackson 5 era Michael Jackson. Photographs between 9.5 x 6.25 inches and 9.5 and 7 inches. About Fine.
