Irving Klaw Hollywood photographs to auction in New York

The Movie Star News Collection - containing a vast number of Hollywood photographs taken by Irving Klaw from 1939 onwards - is to auction over two days (April 6-7) in New York.

Photographer Klaw established the Movie Star News store in New York in 1939, which showcased his often-erotic work. It closed last year.
