Paul Caponigro

a group of 6 unique photographs, including 3 Polaroid Type 52 prints and 3 Polaroid Type 42 prints, 3 signed in pencil on the mats, probably early 1960s (6)

These prints are in generally excellent condition. As is typical of hand-coated Polaroids, there is occasional uneveness and pitting overall in the glossy surfaces. On the reverse of the prints is light rust-colored staining, also typical of such Polaroid prints. Snow on Tires (vertical), Snow on Tires (horizontal), and Wood Fence in Snow (vertical detail) - These photographs are accompanied by mats that are signed by Caponigro in pencil. On the reverse of the prints and of the mats are yellow adhesive remnants from prior hinges.
