One of the most successful publications of the past five decades, Playboy magazine has achieved widespread recognition for helping to define and influence American popular culture. From erotic to playful, from humorous to sublime, the photographs of Playboy have revealed the moods and styles of our time.

Throughout its history, Playboy has published some of the world's most talented artists, photographers, celebrities and models. Creative collaborations with artists such as Salvador Dali and photographers George Hurrell and Pompeo Posar have resulted in projects both sensual and surreal. And, of the countless celebrity images, some of the most memorable include the famous nude of Marilyn Monroe that appeared in the first issue of Playboy, the fascinating and exotic body-painting creations of supermodel Veruschka, the 1983 pictorial featuring the eternally beautiful and seductive Joan Collins, and a cover appearance by comic actor Jerry Seinfeld.

Circle Gallery, following its tradition of working with influential magazine publications and photographers, takes great pride in presenting works from the vast and important collection of photographs that Playboy has amassed over its 40-year history. Selected from a compelling visual archive, this collection embraces an exciting and diverse range of photographic styles, with subjects as individually fascinating as the personalities portrayed.
