Bob Willoughby exhibition

Press release:
Running: 12th May – 26th June 2011    
      
In his distinguished career as a Hollywood photographer, Bob
Willoughby took iconic photographs of many stars but remained
unequivocal about his favourite subject: Audrey Hepburn. Proud
Chelsea presents The Audrey Collection by Bob Willoughby, a touching
photographic portrait of one of the most striking and stylish Hollywood
stars of the 20th century captured through the lens of one her most trusted friends. 

In 1953 Audrey Hepburn arrived in Hollywood, on to the set of Roman Holiday and into the life of Bob Willoughby.  Willoughby was commissioned to take the portrait of the rising star which was the beginning of a special, lifelong friendship. As Hepburn's career flourished, Willoughby was there to capture every moment, every aspect of her beauty and of her personality. From the onset images of My Fair Lady to candid shots of Hepburn’s everyday existence, each frame records the extraordinary life of one of the most beautiful and iconic film stars of all time.

Bob Willoughby’s unique collection will be exhibited at Proud Chelsea from 12th May – 26th June 2011 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Breakfast at Tiffany’s. A passionate and unassuming collection, rivalled by none, this is a must see exhibition which includes estate and very rare original prints, printed and signed by Bob Willoughby himself.
