Hollywood Cats: Photographs from the John Kobal Foundation by Gareth Abbott
Hollywood Cats showcases an incredible selection of photographs, taken during the golden age of Hollywood, of stars with their cats, celebrating and documenting this special relationship. Both Carole Lombard and Greer Garson manage to look even more sultry draped alongside their feline friends; photographs of madcap duo Laurel and Hardy playing with a kitten are both comical and endearing. Perhaps the most famous and arguably the most important of all Hollywood cats is the MGM lion, Leo, who appeared (and still appears) on every MGM movie.
The cuddly compilation of vintage photography from the Golden Age of Hollywood features stars, including Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner, Carole Lombard and Cary Grant, with the nameless strays who ruled the studios, as well as more celebrated cats such as MGM's famous lion, Leo--Booth Moore "L.A. Times, December 5th, 2014 "
Gareth Abbott has been working with photographers for over twenty years. During that time he has curated/co-curated over one hundred exhibitions and been involved in the publication of numerous photography books including Hollywood Unseen(ACC Editions, 2012), Hollywood Dogs(ACC Editions, 2013).
