Lee Friedlander Follow Galax, Virginia 1962 Gelatin silver print, printed 1970s. 18.2 x 27.8 cm (7 1/8 x 10 7/8 in.) Signed, titled, dated in pencil and copyright credit reproduction limitation stamp on the verso.
Literature Like a One-Eyed Cat: Photographs by Lee Friedlander 1956-1987 , New York: Abrams, 1989, pl. 29 P. Galassi, Friedlander , New York: MoMA, 2005, pl. 75 Catalogue Essay These early prints of Self Portrait, Westport, Connecticut , 1968 (lot 93) and Galax, Virginia , 1962 (lot 94) showcase the hallmarks of Lee Friedlander’s prolific photographic oeuvre. While working as a freelance photographer at the start of his career, Friedlander’s shadow would inevitability fall within the frame of the picture he was about to shoot. Thus a typical accident in photography turned into his art. In Self Portrait, Westport, Connecticut , he skilfully layers his shadow and reflection over the store window advertisement; both photographer and model mirror one another while holding their cameras, providing a rich and playful execution of the artist’s self portrait. Friedlander’s iconic Galax, Virginia depicts his interest in the American social landscape. He presents an unembellished interior that captures a human subject through the small frame of the television – emphasising the proliferation of televisions in 1960s America. In both of these classic Friedlander images, his photographic wit and sensibility are unwavering. Read More
