The newly discovered collection of Pamela Rankin-Smith, a socialite and photographer who captured candid photos of iconic figures from the last quarter of the twentieth century, along with her negative catalog and rights, will be presented at auction.
When we held Part I, which was the introduction to the world of this socialite photographer's photographic works, collectors from around the world participated in the auction, setting several records.
Of course, that was Part 1...
The list of signed iconic celebrity photographs by Smith being presented at Part II will appeal to even more collectors. Iconic figures from Actors, TV Personalities, Political Figures, Writers, Dancers, Musical notables, and Sports Icons, will be presented in Part II.
