Bunny Yeager (American, 1929-2014) Bunny with Bettie Page and Cheetahs at Africa, USA, 1954 Digital pigment print, printed later 19 x 15-1/2 inches (48.3 x 39.4 cm) (sight) Signed and editioned 1/5 in pencil verso. Titled and dated on label affixed to mount verso. From the collection of Grapefruit Moon Gallery EXHIBITED: Gavlak, Los Angeles, California, "Bunny Yeager 'How I Photograph Myself' July 25-August 29, 2015. The working relationship between Bettie Page and Bunny Yeager lasted only a few months in 1954, but the two are forever intertwined. Here seen during the Jungle Bettie photoshoot, this image captures the precious and momentous moment. Toward the end of her life, Bunny Yeager found the critical acclaim that had overlooked her for much of her career, with celebrated exhibitions at galleries in Florida and beyond, and a museum exhibition at the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, PA. For these, Yeager reapproached her earlier work as works of fine art, creating museum quality exhibition sized prints such as the one seen here.
