Description
Artist: Yousuf Karsh (Armenian/Canadian, 1908-2002).
Title: "Marshall McLuhan".
Medium: Vintage photogravure.
Date: Composed 1974. Printed 1974.
Dimensions: Overall size: 17 1/4 x 13 in. (438 x 330 mm). Image size: 12 7/8 x 10 3/16 in. (327 x 259 mm).
Lot Note(s): Signed in the plate. Intended edition of 950 (of which all were printed?). High-grade white Bristol archival paper. Full margins, as issued. Fine, quality printing. Fne condition. Comment(s): Very scarce. Quite possibly printed in a run of far less than the 950 proposed. The printing was derived from a high-resolution negative produced with Polaroid Type 105 Positive/Negative film. In the early 1970s Polaroid launched a project to show that this film process could successfully compete with gelatin silver prints as a fine art medium. The company gave cameras plus a generous stock of film to leading photographers of the day. Their output was then published by the Polaroid Corporation. Image copyright © The Estate of Yousuf Karsh.
