Live Auction 2397Three Decades with Irving Penn: Photographs from the Collection of Patricia McCabe
Christie’s roundel
Lot 27 The subjects of Irving Penn's Street Material...have been exposed not only to the elements but to the brutal indifference of urban life.... Penn...entices the viewer to examine it as if under a microscope. At this point we are introduced to a realm of highly suggestive abstract imagery abounding in the unexpected.
