专家说明

'My favorite photograph [of Cunningham's] is the male nude bending at the waist. She photographed a section of the torso so that it looks almost like a shell - absolutely fantastic. (Lee Witkin, interviewed by Judy Dater, Imogen Cunningham: A Portrait, 1979).

The print on offer here was gifted by the artist to the leading photography dealer Lee Witkin. Witkin founded Witkin Gallery in New York in 1969 and thereafter mounted major exhibitions of works by Ansel Adams, Margaret Bourke-White, Edward Weston and Imogen Cunningham, whom he represented, among other masters of the medium.
