Description
  • Artist: RICHARD AVEDON
  • Print Title: Dovima and Betsy Pickering, Paris 1958
  • Dorothy Virginia Margaret Juba (1927-1990), later known as Dorothy Horan, and best known as Dovima, was an American model during the 1950s. She was discovered on a sidewalk in New York by an editor at Vogue, and had a photo shoot with Irving Penn the following day. She worked closely with Richard Avedon, whose photograph of her in a floor-length black evening gown with circus elephants—Dovima with the Elephants—taken at the Cirque d'hiver, Paris, in August 1955, has become an icon and sold for $1,151,976 in 2010. The gown was the first evening dress designed for Christian Dior by his new assistant, Yves Saint-Laurent. Dovima was reputed to be the highest-paid model of her time; she commanded $60 per hour when most of the top models were receiving anything up to $25 per hour. She became known as the Dollar-a-Minute Girl.
