Bettie Page ‘Two-Peace Leopard Print Suit', Key Biscayne, FL, 1954 by Bunny Yeager Vintage Gelatin Silver Print Signature label Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Bunny Yeager studio.

This black-and-white photograph captures a striking scene set against a serene beach backdrop. The focal point is a dynamic, confident woman posed with arms raised, accentuating her powerful stance. Her expression exudes confidence and vivacity, which draws the viewer into her world. The bikini, patterned with bold stripes, contrasts sharply against the soft, sandy beach, emphasizing her form and the rhythmic lines of her body. This choice of attire, coupled with the dramatic pose, creates a sense of movement and vitality, as if she is caught in mid-dance, celebrating the freedom of the ocean air. The background features a tranquil horizon with gentle waves lapping at the shore, adding a sense of calm and balance to the image’s exuberance. Light clouds scatter across a sunlit sky, as if mirroring the texture of the sand. This harmonious landscape contrasts with the energy of the central figure, enhancing her presence. The photograph is a testament to the blend of strength and elegance, capturing a moment that is both timeless and full of life. The artist’s ability to juxtapose the serene environment with the vibrant subject creates a captivating and enduring image.

Bunny Yeager, Bettie Page ‘Two- Peace Leopard Print Suit', Key Biscayne, FL
United States  • 1929

Presentation

Bunny Yeager (born Linnea Eleanor Yeager; March 13, 1929) is an American photographer and former pin-up model.

Born in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania, U.S., Yeager became one of the most photographed models in Miami. After retiring from modeling, she began her career behind the camera. She met Bettie Page in 1954 and took most of the photographs of her that year. Along with photographer Irving Klaw, Yeager played a role in helping to make Page famous, particularly with her photos in Playboy magazine. Yeager is also credited with discovering the model Lisa Winters.[citation needed] Following Page's retirement, Yeager remained a successful photographer. She took the well-known still images of Ursula Andress on the beach in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No and discovered many other notable models. In 1968 she played the role of a Swedish masseuse opposite Frank Sinatra in Lady In Cement.

Yeager was played by Sarah Paulson in the 2005 film The Notorious Bettie Page. She was also featured on a CNN story about the 60th anniversary of the bikini. In the 1950s, Mrs. Yeager appeared on America's Number One Game Show, What's My Line, and she stumped the panel.

In 2005, Cult Epics released the DVD 100 Girls by Bunny Yeager, a documentary with behind-the-scenes footage on Yeager's photo sessions with Page and other pin-up models.

In early 2010, the Warhol Museum held the first exhibition of Bunny's work. Most of the photographs in the exhibit came from Bunny's book "How I Photograph Myself" published by A.S.Barnes & Co. in 1964.

In 2011, the Schuster Gallery (Berlin/Miami) became the official representative of the photographic artwork of Bunny.

In November 2011, the Dezer Schauhalle in Miami FL hosted a retrospective exhibition of Bunny's work. Included were some never before seen photos of various models including the late Bettie Page.

In the year 2012, the German Fashion Company Bruno Banani launched their new fashion Line " Bunny Yeager" and opened together with the Gallery Schuster Berlin/Miami a permanent Bunny Yeager Lounge in Berlin.
