专家说明

Harry Callahan photographed his wife Eleanor more than any other subject, and ‘in an endless number of ways’, beginning in 1947. His poetic representations of her, sometimes accompanied by their daughter Barbara and sometimes not, placed her in amidst urban environments, in parks, on the street, in lake Michigan, and both clothed and nude. This extensive and collective portrait of a woman is reminiscent of the centrality that O’Keeffe played in the personal and professional life of Alfred Stieglitz.

The present lot is a vintage, mounted print, signed by the artist.
