Description
- Irving Penn
- 'TAMBUL WARRIOR, NEW GUINEA'
- Platinum palladium print mounted on aluminum
platinum-palladium print, flush-mounted to aluminum, signed, titled, dated, annotated, and editioned '2/25' in pencil and ink and with the Condé Nast copyright label on the reverse, framed, 1970, printed in 1971 (Worlds in a Small Room, p. 71)
Provenance
Acquired from Stephen Wirtz Gallery, San Francisco
Condition
This early print is in generally excellent condition. There is light soiling on the reverse of the flush-mount, and, as is sometimes typical of the platinum-palladium prints mounted on aluminum, the margin edges are slightly abraded. There are tape remains on the exposed aluminum at the top edge, likely from a prior matting/framing. These do not affect the print itself in any way.
