“Between Fame and Silence“

One-Of-A-Kind Vintage Press Photography (1960s–1990s)

Step into a world where time stands still — where icons are caught not only in the spotlight, but also in the quiet moments in between. From Brigitte Bardot basking in the sun at St. Tropez to Muhammad Ali smiling after a lost fight, from David Bowie’s magnetic stage presence to Picasso’s playful tenderness with his children, these photographs reveal the beauty, humanity, and stillness behind the glare of fame.

Presented by oneOAK Between Fame and Silence showcases a carefully curated selection of authentic vintage press photographs from the 1960s to the 1990s.
Unseen for decades, these photographs tell intimate stories of the stars, politicians, models, and musicians who shaped an era. Among them are rare works by renowned paparazzi photographers such as Daniel Angeli, Richard Melloul, and Stanley Tretick — alongside hidden gems that capture forgotten moments and faces of the time.

Each print is an original: a one-of-a-kind fragment of history that once graced the desks of editors and the archives of newspapers — now rediscovered as a timeless piece of art, inviting you to experience the silence that lingers between fame and memory.
