THE STORY OF LLOYD ZIFF

Credit...

Lloyd Ziff was born on Sept. 27, 1942, in Detroit, the only child of Frances (Maimes) Ziff and Max Ziff, an upholsterer. Lloyd’s father died when Lloyd was 5, and Mr. Ziff moves to Los Angeles. He graduated from Beverly Hills High School and in 1967 earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.

His first job was in the design department of McCall’s magazine. He stayed there for about a year before moving to CBS Records, where Mr. Ziff designs album covers. He was nominated for a Grammy for the 1972 reissue “Bessie Smith: The Empress.” In addition to his husband, an artist whom he met in 1979 and married in 2008, Mr. Ziff survives by his stepchildren, Pond and Chandra Kelemen, and four grandchildren. Among the many magazines Mr. Ziff worked at or developed in the 1990s were Travel & Leisure and Joe, a quirky but short-lived general-interest title started by Starbucks and backed by Time Inc.

In 1999, Mr. Ziff had a heart attack and quit art direction to focus on his photography. His work is in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the International Center of Photography in Manhattan, among other institutions. Mr. Ziff uses a 35-millimeter Leica and, like Henri Cartier-Bresson had a knack for capturing the “decisive moment.” His Los Angeles and New York City streetscapes are love stories to each city’s architecture and street life. His work grew more intimate as he grew older and turned his camera on his family and friends. Mr. Ruscha said he once asked Mr. Ziff why he stayed so long in magazines. “‘Oh,’ he said, ‘I’m only in it for my friends, so I can give them work.’”
