Irving Penn

A while ago when the news covered Penns passing i posted a picture of my mom taken by him.

Much to my pleasure I have found more, my uncle had them in storage. Here is a some what crude jpeg of the collection, later I may be able to add some better ones.

As fond of photograpghy and the arts as I am, i am simply financially unable to restrain from selling the original prints. I will keep for myself high quality scans but the originals will be sold by Christies in New York some time later this year. Just thought I would share a little treasure found in the shed.

Note the envelope postmarked October 1947 sent by Penn to my grandfather, It contained four prints and 24 pages of multiples, two of the prints have his signature.
