More  Two historic Rolex watches worn to R. M.S Titanic to star in Sotheby's Important Watches SaleNEW YORK, NY.- In 1985, it took Robert Ballard eight days to find the R.M.S. Titanic around 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. For more than 70 years, the location of the liner's wreckage about 12,600 feet below the ocean's surface had been a mystery since the "unsinkable" ship struck an iceberg late in the evening of April 14, 1912. Since then, fewer than 250 people in the world have personally viewed the Titanic wreckage, which sits about 2.5 miles below the oceans surface. One of those people, Alfred Al Giddings, has completed a total of seventeen dives to the infamous shipwreck. Considered one of the world's most accomplished and renowned underwater cinematographers, Giddings, with nearly half a century of underwater cinematography under his belt, has redefined the genre of underwater filmmaking.

The presentation is centered on Avedons works from the 1960s alongside a selection of Mitchells photographs from the past six years, including some not previously exhibited. For Avedon, the 1960s were a period of deepening social engagement that he would continue through the rest of his life. Central to this era is his groundbreaking collaboration with James Baldwin on Nothing Personal (1964), a book that pairs Baldwins words and Avedons photographs, offering powerful reflections on race, identity, and society. ...

Flashback On a day like today, Spanish painter Pablo Picasso was born October 25, 1881. Pablo Picasso (25 October 1881 - 8 April 1973), was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of his adult life in France. As one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), and Guernica (1937), a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War. In this image: Pablo Picasso watches the filming of his life story in Nice, France, on July 26, 1955. Henri Georges Clouzot, seated, is producing the picture. Picasso's daughter Maya is at left.
