More Two historic Rolex watches worn to R. M.S Titanic to star in Sotheby's Important Watches Sale NEW 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.

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.

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. ...

| PhotoGalleries Gabriele Münter TARWUK Awol Erizku Leo Villareal 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.
