Condition
Titled in stamp, and with photographer's stamp, verso.
Bunny Yeager (American, 1929-2014) La Raine Meeres, 1957 Toned gelatin silver print 14 x 11 inches (35.6 x 27.9 cm) (image/sheet) Titled in stamp, and with photographer's stamp, verso. From the collection of Grapefruit Moon Gallery When Cab Callaway brought his Cotton Club Revue to Miami Beach in the winter of 1957, Yeager photographed one of the featured dancers, La Raine Meeres, in an extended session where Meeres posed for Yeager leaning against a high-end sports car, sunning poolside at an area hotel, and eventually fully nude. The context of Miami at the time this shoot was taken enriches the power of these images. Nightclubs across the country, and in Miami in particular were highly contested sites in the fight for desegregation. In 1955, Lena Horne broke her contract to perform for a week at the Miami Beach Copa City, making national headlines citing Jim Crow laws in Miami Beach and musing "hell, someday they’ll learn." The shots of Meers, often taken from a low angle, show her as a towering, magnetic, powerful presence in a city which was still deeply hostile to her presence.

Overall excellent condition. Some slight creasing and edge chipping. Faint silver mirroring to darker areas of image. Sheet is loose, not framed.
