Gordon Parks [vintage gelatin silver print by EISENSTAEDT from LIFE Magazine archive and Parks's estate]

About this Item

Gelatin silver print, the negative probably 1963, the print vintage. Image 13-1/4 x 10-1/4 in., unmounted. Stamped on the verso with the LIFE Magazine archive stamp dated 1-14-63. In near fine condition, a few small nicks along the edges, penciled archival notations on the verso. Probably one of a few copies, and the subject's own copy. Eisenstaedt photographed this sculptural portrait of Parks in 1963 when both were close associates on the roster of LIFE Magazine. This silver print comes directly from subject's estate. A near variant of this image, the subject posing outdoors in a jacket over the same soft-collar shirt and V-neck sweater, appears with the Editor's Note signed by George P. Hunt in LIFE Magazine for May 31, 1963 (vol. 54, no. 33, p. 3). Provenance: Estate of Gordon Parks. Seller Inventory # ABE-1505435930590
