Description
Silver gelatin print. Inscribed & dated verso in pencil. Printed 1960s. From the Malcolm Grear estate, famed photographer Aaron Siskind (1903-1991) photographed the players at the Games Theatre in Chicago in 1965 using a multiple exposure technique. In notes to his friend, Siskind stated each negative has eight exposures. The photograph is unsigned but inscibed 'GT 12' and dated '1965' verso in pencil. Sheet is 14" x 11". Museum matted (20" x 16"). Unframed. The Aaron Siskind Foundation donated over 8,000 Siskind prints to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in 2019. The Games Theatre series is included in those prints, but are otherwise rare.
