Vintage borderless photograph of musician and author Patti Smith and manager Jane Friedman, circa 1976, with a cassette tape of Patti Smith's performance on January 9, 1976, at Paul's Mall in Boston. Photograph housed in a manila folder bearing the name of photographer Donna Santisi and a North Brunswick, New Jersey address in manuscript ink, and a sticker on the rear flap from Janis Joplin's 1969 album, "I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!," designed by Robert Crumb. Noted music photographer Donna Santisi is best known for her iconic images of pop and rock luminaries of the 1970s, including Iggy Pop, Janis Joplin, Debbie Harry, Prince, David Bowie, and Frank Zappa.

A behind the scenes fixture of the downtown New York arts and music scenes beginning in the late 1960s, Friedman represented artists such as Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa, as well as managing Smith and John Cale (with whom Friedman founded Spy Records in 1977). Photograph: 7 x 5 inches. Near Fine, housed in a Very Good plus folder measuring 9.75 x 6.5 inches. Cassette Tape: housed in a BASF case. Not played. Near Fine.

Coupon’s Studio 54 photographs were included in the International Center of Photography exhibition "Fleeting Gestures: Treasures of Dance Photography" in late 1978, his first major exhibition. The photographs in this collection were exhibited at Photo London 2019 and on display at Tenderbooks in London in conjunction with Rare Photo Gallery in Toronto. Coupon was born in New York City, and after attending Syracuse University returned there in 1978. He began to photograph the disco/celebrity scene at Studio 54 and the punk/New Wave scene at the Mudd Clubb in lower Manhattan. During this time he also became a successful commercial photographer, working for a variety of international magazines, record companies, and advertising agencies. In the 1980s and 1990s Coupon did several series on various sub-cultures and indigenous peoples that he called “Social Studies.” In 1992 he was invited to photograph the world’s tribal leaders during Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The work, at the request of the United Nations and the United States Congress, was exhibited in 1994 in the United States Senate Rotunda as part of the UN’s "Year of the Indigenous People." Coupon’s vast catalog of portraits include world leaders, noted writers, artists, and musicians, as well as his highly regarded indigenous portraits. He has photographed covers for Newsweek, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times Sunday Magazine as well as assignments for Esquire, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, People, and many more. He photographed 15 covers for Time magazine, including the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush “Person of the Year” covers and has photographed all of the Presidents of the United States from Richard Nixon going forward. 8 x 10 inches, archivally matted to 16 x 20 inches.
