December 1990. Unpublished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eAn unpublished image from 1990, Tina Bockrath is a dramatic black-and-white nude by Pompeo Posar, the photographer behind both Salvador Dalí images in this collection and one of the most revered figures in Playboy's history. A four-by-six-foot print of this image once hung at Playboy's Chicago headquarters, giving the work a scale and presence unusual even within the archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe image has an unusual provenance. Posar made a series of black-and-white studies of Bockrath during the period of her Playmate shoot, then enlarged several of them to near-billboard scale. Those monumental prints later became part of the environment for color photographs made with Bockrath in front of them. This image preserves the source: Posar's own studio portrait, stripped to light, shadow, and the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eBockrath took her inspiration directly from the magazine's first icon, Marilyn Monroe:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cblockquote class=\"pullquote\"\u003eTo have that image, that vulnerability, that magic that made men fall all over her.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eIn Tina Bockrath, she stands nude against a darkened ground, long curling blonde hair catching the light, one hand raised toward her face. The lighting carves the figure out of deep shadow in luminous highlight and dark fall-off, all silver tones and contrast. The image has the scale and gravity of classic Hollywood portraiture rather than a conventional pinup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003ePhotographed by Posar, modeled by Bockrath, and preserved within the Playboy Legacy Collection, the work is part of the forty-eight-print archival edition released for Playboy's 50th anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eCollection Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe Playboy Legacy Collection was released in 2007 for the magazine's 50th anniversary as a forty-eight-print archival edition curated under the direction of Hugh Hefner. Each print is embossed with the archive seal bearing the Playboy Bunny mark and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"meta\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/playboy-legacy-collection\"\u003eRead the full history of the Playboy Legacy Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Playboy Legacy Collection","offers":[{"title":"16 × 20 in - $450","offer_id":47674888323297,"sku":"PL-LC-S3-14-16","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 24 in - $625","offer_id":47674888356065,"sku":"PL-LC-S3-14-24","price":625.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 in - $850","offer_id":48400088891617,"sku":null,"price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40 × 50 in - $1150","offer_id":48400088924385,"sku":null,"price":1150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/2765\/9233\/files\/PLC_S3_14_Tina_Bockrath.jpg?v=1765053190","url":"https:\/\/www.finephoto.art\/products\/plc-s3-14-tina-bockrath","provider":"FinePhoto.Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
