PIECEWORK
The most iconic poolside photograph of all time as a 1,000-piece puzzle — Slim Aarons, Palm Springs, 1970.
Slim Aarons (1916–2006) was the photographer of American leisure — a man who documented “attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places.” “Poolside Gossip” (1970) is his best-known image: two women by a pool in Palm Springs, the sun blazing, a martini nearby — pure midcentury elegance. Piecework has released this iconic photograph as a 1,000-piece puzzle in collaboration with Getty Images, packaged in a show-stopping cabana-striped box. A gift that belongs in every home with taste.
