Horst P. Horst and George Hoyningen-Huene are icons of 20th-century art and fashion. Together, they virtually redefined photographic elegance. "Companions" as they were politely referred to, the duo met in 1930 in Paris and spent nearly 40 years as a couple until Hoyningen-Huene's death in 1968.

The exhibition at Robert Tat Gallery (which comes from Louis Klaitman’s large collection of prints) features a selection of Horst and Hune’s iconic photographs - including: Mainboucher Corset, Round The Clock I, Divers (Horst & Model), Horst Torso, Male Nude, and Lisa With Harp – as well as lesser-known but equally stunning photographs.
