Gallery Note
 
While Nikki Haskell is celebrated globally as a media pioneer and legendary art collector, this exquisite photograph with her  sculpture highlights her personal contribution to the late-1970s New York avant-garde art movement. 
Goetz captures Haskell's role as a premier muse for the era’s fine art and photography scene.  Goetz, a master of theatrical lighting and surrealist composition, completely strips away the disco aesthetic to present Haskell as a timeless, ethereal figure engaged in a mysterious dialogue with her own artwork, 
Still in its original, ornate gold exhibition frame (J Pocker), this exact print was featured for a formal museum and major gallery showcase at the turn of the decade. True vintage 1970s color prints by Goetz are exceptionally scarce on the open market, particularly those documenting prominent cultural icons of the period. Serving as a profound visual departure from the commercial pop art in her collection, this 1/1 exhibition print stands as a cornerstone fine art photograph of the entire retrospective.
