Fisher Ross
Untitled, Motorcycle Bondage, San Francisco.

ca. 1978

About the Item

Fisher Ross. Untitled, Image #5, ca. 1975-80. Offset print postcard format. 4.5 x 6.5 inches; 12 x 15 inches framed. Excellent condition. Photographs from the archive of After Dark and Dance Magazine editor William Como. After Dark was an essential source on dance, theater, performance art, ballet, and cinema of the late 60 and 1970s and a foundational piece of gay cultural history that influenced a generation of artists. Body By Fisher was a series of very limited run offset print postcards produced by the artist. Given their erotic content, they would have been available only in very select retail locations in The Castro. No surviving examples are known to exist other than those from the Como collection. The 1980 Postcard depicted here (separate, not for sale) and sent to Como was prophetic as the entire estate of Ross was discarded/destroyed upon his death during the early days of the AIDS epidemic.

  • Early 20th Century Photograph -- Sidewalk Club of the Motherlode
    By Sigismund Blumann
    Located in Soquel, CA
    "Sidewalk Club of the Motherlode" a Lithobrome photograh by Sigismund Blumann (American, 1872-1956). Signed "Sigismund Blumann" lower right. Titled "Sidewalk Club of the Motherlode" on verso. Image size, 11.25"H x 13.25"W. Between 1923 and 1932, his pictures were accepted at photographic salons in Amsterdam, Toronto, Rochester, Seattle, and Los Angeles. In 1927, a one-person exhibition of his bromoil prints traveled to camera clubs in Chicago, Akron, Cincinnati, and New York. In addition to bromoil, a process that yields pointillistic images, Blumann utilized such unusual processes as kallitype (Vandyke brown), lithobrome, and pastelograph (the latter two probably his own inventions) to create original photographs using chemical processes he invented. Sigismund Blumann (1872–1956) (figure 1) was a prominent tastemaker in Californian photography during the 1920s and 1930s. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area for his entire career, he edited magazines, wrote books, and made creative photographs. From 1924 to 1933 Blumann edited Camera Craft, the leading West Coast photographic monthly. Subsequently he established his own periodical, Photo Art Monthly, which he published until 1940. In these two magazines — for over fifteen years — Blumann found a large audience of mainstream pictorial photographers. In addition, he wrote five instructional books on photography...
