Description
- Helmut Newton
- 'Portrait of Elsa Peretti, New York', 1975
Vintage silver print, signed in ink in the margin. Signed, titled and dated in ink and with the photographer's copyright stamp on the reverse.
Provenance
From the photographer to the present owner.
Literature
Newton, H. 1989 pl. 13.
Condition
The print has a glossy surface. When viewed in a raking light, some superficial scratching can be seen across the surface. In addition there are three indented pressure marks of approx. 0.5cm each in the image visible only in raking light. There is one very light stress mark in the lower margin and an approx. 2mm border at the very edge of the print (in the margin) where emulsion has been lost. Closer to the print a pressure mark of a previous mount is visible irregularly around the four sides.
In spite of the above remarks, overall condition is very good.
