ROSE HARTMAN By Adam Kluger
T
o say that Rose Hartman is a native New Yorker is not just stating the obvious, since she was born on 9th Street, in the east Village She is also a native New Yorker in character, passion, humor, resilience and, of course, talent; one of those very particular residents of the city that know how to mix things up. One minute she is at some very fancy party surrounded by socialites, celebrities and models, and the next she is in the 2 train going home to the West Village. She can be seen almost every day having lunch at Sant Ambroeus or swimming at Equinox, and later just enjoying the sun and a copy of the NY Post in her stoop, in the same building in Charles Street where she has lived for the past 60 years. Her career is, using a word she is often associated with, incomparable. Inspired by the pages of Vogue she used to read as a teen, she took her camera and off she went to photograph generations of the most glamorous, creative and beautiful people in the city. Her most famous picture is of Bianca Jagger on a white horse celebrating her 30th birthday in Studio 54 in 1977. Then came Andy, Halston, Liza, and later Linda, Naomi, Christy, Claudia, Kate and almost any gorgeous woman you can think of. But her eye doesn’t stop there. From media moguls to rock stars and artists, her portfolio is vast and impressive, and has been published and exhibited around the world. She admires her subjects, and maybe that’s the reason why everyone looks so good in her pictures. Her intent has always been to show the most beautiful face the world has to offer, and, no doubt, she has been very successful at that.
