Harry Benson

Fall 2025 Issue

Harry Benson reflects on his decades long careed and an exhibition of his ledendary portraits in Boca Raton.

Dolly Parton putting on her makeup. The Beatles pillow fighting at Georges V in Paris. Princess Diana crouching down to smile at a curly haired little girl. These are but a few of the iconic images taken by Harry Benson, the Scottish born photographer with a flair for capturing celebrities and politicians in their element, and some of the most pivotal moments in history. They are also among the shots on display at The Boca Raton resort until spring 2026 as part of the exhibition Harry Benson: Royalty, Rebels, and Rock stars, presented by Sponder Gallery. “Both my wife, Gigi, and I are very pleased to be represented by Sponder Gallery,” Benson says. “The exhibition in Boca Raton is very unique, very different from a regular gallery presentation. It's more like sitting in a friend's living room surrounded by favorite photographs of interesting people.”

For over 15 years, Sponder Gallery has had the privilege of bringing exceptional art into extraordinary places, from The Boca Raton to Waterstone Resort and Marina, and now, the W Fort Lauderdale. Each partnership shares the same concept: to create spaces where world-class art lives alongside world-class experiences. The W Fort Lauderdale offers something unique. It's modern architecture, coastal light, and vibrant energy make it the perfect platform for the blue chip and contemporary works we represent.  We've brought together a mix that reflects our curatorial vision of esteemed estates, established voices, and bold emerging talents. Each work is placed with intention, creating moments of beauty, surprise, and conversation in every corner of the property.
