Poolside Gossip Framed Print by Slim Aarons

Palm Springs Style, Captured by Slim Aarons

Poolside Gossip captures a sunlit Palm Springs scene on 22 January 1970. Actress Lita Baron approaches Nelda Linsk, seated in yellow, and her friend Helen Dzo Dzo beside the pool. The photograph brings together relaxed conversation, modernist architecture and a dramatic mountain backdrop in one of Slim Aarons’ most recognisable images.

The turquoise water, bright clothing and architectural lines give the artwork a distinctive balance of colour and structure. It works as a focal point in a living room, dining area or entry, bringing a sense of resort leisure to everyday interiors.

An Authentic Photographic Print

This photographic-paper edition is hand embossed with the Getty Images Archives mark and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity. A white self-border and surrounding matboard present the image within a timber frame, giving the photograph space to stand apart from the wall.

Each piece is printed and framed to order in Australia. The selectable versions on this page are framed photographic prints, with six sizes and three frame finishes to keep choosing straightforward.

Choose White, Black or Scandi

White creates a light, understated outline; Black brings a more defined contrast; and Scandi introduces a natural timber look. Choose a finish that connects with nearby furniture or repeat a frame colour used elsewhere in the room for a cohesive display.

The photograph’s clear colours also work comfortably within a coastal palette of soft neutrals, timber and woven textures.

Find the Right Framed Size

Choose using the overall framed dimensions rather than the image dimensions alone. Mark out the proposed size on your wall and compare it with the furniture beneath, leaving enough surrounding space for the artwork to feel balanced. For a coordinated display, browse our framed prints and artwork and consider the scale, palette and frame finish together.

Cleaning Your Framed Print

Dust gently with a clean, soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths and do not spray cleaning products directly onto the artwork or frame. Keep moisture away from the frame edges, backing, matboard and print.

Placement and Preventative Care

Display indoors, away from prolonged direct sunlight, direct heat and damp or humid areas. Avoid positions exposed to splashes or condensation. Handle the frame with clean, dry hands and avoid touching the photographic surface if the artwork is ever removed from its frame.

Hanging and Handling

Use wall fixings suitable for the wall construction, artwork size and weight. Larger artworks over 1000mm wide are supplied with steel D rings and require two wall fixing points; do not connect these with string or wire. Seek advice from a professional picture hanger or hardware specialist if unsure. Lift larger frames with suitable assistance, supporting the frame rather than carrying it by the hanging hardware.
