Live Auction 1192Kate Moss From The Collection of Gert Elfering
IRVING PENN (1917-2009)
Lot 5 'Penn's private, stubborn, artistic intuitions have revised our sense of the world's content. His essential work is Spartan in its rigor, in its devotion to the sober elegance of clarity, in the high demands that it makes of us regarding poise, grace, costume, style, and the definition of ourselves. We have failed to meet those demands -- naturally -- but we will not forget them.' John Szarkowski
