Andreas Feininger (Paris 1906 – 1999 New York). Coney Island, New York. 1949
Early gelatin silver print, presumably exhibition print, late 1950s/early 1960s. 60,8 × 76,2 cm (23 ⅞ × 30 in.). Laid down on masonite (60,8 × 76,1 cm) and signed in black felt-tip pen on the reverse. Inscribed: "Coney Island crowd" and the number: "198" by a further hand in black felt-tip pen.
[2086]
Provenance: From Andreas Feininger to the current owner
Literature and illustration: LIFE, vol. 27, no. 3 (18. July 1949), p. 32-33 (there caption: On Fourth of July 1,500,000 Bathers Jammed Coney Island and LIFE's Andreas Feininger caught a large Number of them in this striking Picture taken a few Hours before Storm scattered them) / Andreas Feininger und Susan E. Lyman: The face of New York. The city as it was and as it is. New York 1954 (here 2. ed. 1955), unpaginated (there detail and caption: With the coming of the subway in 1920 and the opening of the boardwalk in 1921, Coney was only a nickel away and the beach was more inviting than ever. The 100,000 who visited Coney on a summer Sunday in 1900 have become 1,000,000 today. There's more doing along the boardwalk, less along Surf Avenue and the Bowery. Now it's the Parachute Jump, roller coasters, knishes and cotton candy. The music of the carousel is an almost forgotten sound. But the beach! On a summer week-end, it's crowded enough, but during a hot spell-let's see if we can find a square inch of sand to call our own.) /
