history - Who is the photographer of this black and white photo of two female nudes standing over a pile of clothes?


A print was given to a friend long time ago and he vaguely remembers that he was told the artist was German. I feel like I have seen it somewhere before. I have tried searching by the below image in both Google and Bing and got no good result. Does anyone know some information about the photographer?

I don't know anything about the photo but did do a bit of digging on Google.


Google Images has an option to search by image that returned the following results: Here


This led me to what looks like an art auction website that is in German: Here


Finally, the page did not resolve with the pictures, but it did have the alt text visible. Down at the very bottom one of the images has the text "Albert Watson 1942 - Two nude models".


Albert Watson is a Scottish photographer well known for his fashion, celebrity and art photography; more info at wikipedia here.


For these reasons, I believe this image is from the artist: Albert Watson and is possibly titled Two nude models
