爱因斯坦经典「吐舌」照片以 $125,000 美元高价售出

那边厢在美国举办的 Comic-Con 展出了原版 1989 年 Michael J. Fox 于电影中所著用的 NIKE MAG，并即将举行拍卖！这边却有另有项同样令人感兴趣的东西刚以高价售出，便是爱因斯坦的一张经典伸舌照片。照片由 Arthur Sasse 于 1951 年 3 月 14 日拍摄，当年爱因斯坦刚在庆祝其 72 岁生日，更由他亲笔签名以表示喜爱，最终照片更复制出 9 个副本送赠了朋友。而这次拍卖结果是 $125,000 美元，然而原来当初 Arthur Sasse 拍摄后，他的上司们对刊登犹豫不决，因为破坏到爱因斯坦的形象，但偏偏爱因斯坦本人却十分喜欢，更成为了一张非常罕见的照片。

“Photo was snapped on 14 March 1951 by Arthur Sasse, a UPI photographer whose employers were at first hesitant about publishing the iconoclastic image of Einstein; when they did, Einstein was so amused by it that he ordered several prints to give out to close friends. This image is unlike most which crop the photo to show only Einstein. Here, the photo is shown in its full context with Einstein seated between Dr. Frank Aydelotte, head of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, and Aydelotte’s wife, after celebrating his birthday at the Princeton Club. Photo is signed along the left margin ”A. Einstein .51”, indicating he signed the image shortly after it was taken. Photo measures 7” x 10”. Very good to near fine condition. Extraordinarily rare photo signed by Einstein, the most famous and beloved image of him.”
