i became the executive director of her Justice last September. Since then, i have gotten to know

the dedicated staff, meet our supportive partnering firms and witness clients coming to us to get

the legal assistance they deserve. thanks to you, her Justice provides free civil legal services to

over 3,000 women each year, allowing them and their children to prosper.

Our work together shows that lawyers can be change agents. the decisions that are made every

day in our courts are profoundly important. in five-minute hearings judges may decide whether

a child can stay with a parent, whether a mother will have enough money to pay for meals, or

whether an order of protection will enable someone to go home without fear. Yet 80% of the

litigants in those courts do not have lawyers. when they do not have lawyers, they cannot be sure

of a just outcome.

Providing lawyers in civil courts is powerful. we know this because our volunteer lawyers see

their clients’ lives change for the better every day. research has shown that civil lawyers have

helped to reduce domestic violence. in immigration cases, representation ensures that a mother’s

determination to work and support her children on her own and on the books is recognized. in

divorces and support cases, having a lawyer can ensure that children are properly fed and housed.

recently, one of our clients had her child support award increased from $50 to $950 a month once

her lawyer and accountant proved the amount of her husband’s undeclared income. this result

lifted our client and her two children out of extreme poverty

Diversity and opportunity are hallmarks of New York City. her Justice shifts the power so that

our clients have equal access to the opportunities new York has to offer. thank you for helping

to make this possible by joining us and supporting her Justice!

Welcome

We hope you enjoy these premiere works of photography being auctioned for Her Justice, to help us shift the power in favor of New York City’s low-income women. If you are reading this, then you too believe that in a city with such a wealth of stellar attorneys and other professionals, there must also be a wealth of support to ensure that women can support themselves and their children, stop the abuse in their homes and thrive in our communities. This beautiful catalog is a testament to what happens when we join forces. Together, we change lives.

Shortly after John Lennon moved to New York

City in 1971, Gruen became John and Yoko Ono’s

personal photographer and friend, documenting

their public and private lives. In 1974, Gruen

and Lennon did a photo shoot on the terrace of

Lennon’s East 52nd Street apartment —and the

rest is history. The resulting image of Lennon

wearing a New York City t-shirt is one of the

most iconic music photographs of all time. As the

New York Times’ Alex Williams has commented,

“That shot has become something of a rock ’n’

roll Mona Lisa.” The full catalog of his work with

Lennon and Ono can be seen in his wonderful

book John Lennon—The New York Years.

Gruen’s relationship with Her Justice began in

2010. He has generously donated a photograph or

private commission to our auction every year since.

This year, Gruen is supporting Her Justice with

some very special auction gifts. In the Live Auction,

one guest will win his famous John Lennon print—

and enjoy a unique, one-on-one lunch with Gruen

at New York’s EN Japanese Brasserie and receive

signed copies of his monographs Rock Seen and

the newly-published See Hear Yoko (also signed

by Yoko Ono). For the Silent Auction, Gruen has

given Her Justice his memorable 1973 image of

Led Zeppelin posing with their plane. These are

two opportunities to take home a piece of Gruen’s

legacy, with the proceeds benefitting a cause in

which he truly believes.

Her Justice award

her Justice is proud to salute Bob Gruen, our first Photography honoree, at this year’s auction.

Gruen has photographed the legends of rock and roll for more than

40 years and his iconic images are known around the world. He has

worked with major attractions including Elton John, The Who, Kiss,

Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Aerosmith and Tina

Turner. As chief photographer for Rock Scene Magazine in the 1970s,

Gruen specialized in candid, behind-the-scenes photo features. He also

photographed and toured extensively with punk and new wave bands

such as The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Ramones, The Patti Smith Group

and Blondie.

Letter from the Photography Auction Co-Chair

As an auction co-chair, I wish to extend our personal thanks to the wonderful and generous galleries, artists and other art donors who make this event possible. Year after year, I am amazed by their enthusiasm for the mission of Her Justice and their commitment to helping Her Justice raise vital funds for the women and children of New York City.

this year, we asked many galleries and artists to donate photographs which captured the idea

of “icons,” whether iconic people, places, creatures, objects or eras. the resulting contributions

include classic photos of new York and european landmarks, celebrity portraits and timeless

landscapes. in addition, our featured photographers are themselves true icons. Some are famous

artists from the past such as Slim aarons, esther Bubley and ruth orkin; others are acclaimed

contemporary photographers with distinct points of view.

we are honoring one of our most generous photographers, Bob Gruen, who has contributed his

work to her Justice for many years. Gruen is a legendary figure in the rock and roll world, having

memorably chronicled every major musician from the 1960s through today. when you think of

John lennon, you picture Gruen’s most recognizable image: his 1974 shot of John lennon sporting

a sleeveless new York City t-shirt and sunglasses. Guests will have the opportunity to bid on this

lennon photo in the live auction and his well-known 1973 led Zeppelin portrait in the Silent

auction as well. the lucky winner of the lennon print will also receive two signed monographs

(including his new See Hear Yoko book, also signed by Yoko ono) and will enjoy the unique

pleasure of having lunch with Gruen himself.

as always, we thank the many talented, non-professional photographers who donated images to

our Silent auction. many of these “friends of her Justice” contribute pieces each year, and they

each have a unique connection to her Justice. we are proud to showcase them and very grateful

for their support.

last but not least, we wish to thank denise Bethel for again donating her services as our 2015

auctioneer. as everyone knows, she is an icon within the auction industry.

Enjoy the auction and let the bidding begin!

Cathy M. KaplanSidley Austin LLP

Mirah CurzerExclusive offering CHILD PORTRAIT COMMISSION

No. 113

Child Portrait CommiSSion BY MIRAH CURZER

Medium: Digital print. 50 digital images and one 11" x 14" print provided to purchaser.

Portrait Subject: One to five subjects.

Time frame and location for the portrait sitting: To be arranged at the mutual convenience of artist and sitter (before April 2016) in Manhattan or northern New Jersey.

Opening Bid: $300


Mirah Curzer is a New York-based lifestyle, documentary and fashion photographer—as well as an attorney at Jones Day. Her vast experience ranges from weddings to newborns, but she approaches each client‘s session or event as a documentary project.

Curzer summarizes her style: “When I photograph people, I always chat and laugh and have fun. When I know what makes my subjects who they are, the person shines through the photos. Each session is unique; I don‘t try to duplicate photos that worked for me in the past or use set poses. Instead, even portrait sessions are documentary for me. My favorite shots are the ones in between poses, when people are most relaxed

and the emotions are truest.” She looks forward to collaborating with you to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind photograph of your child.

Thanks to the generosity of Mirah Curzer, Her Justice is pleased to offer a private child portrait commission in the Silent Auction. Enjoy the experience of having a unique child portrait created for you and your family.
