Description
Artist: Walker Evans (American, 1903 - 1975).
Title: "Composition".
Medium: Original vintage photogravure.
Date: 1974. Printed 1974.
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 impression. Fine condition. Overall size: 17 1/4 x 13 in. (438 x 330 mm). Image size: 10 1/4 x 10 1/8 in. (260 x 257 mm). 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.
