About the Item
Fire Hydrant, Harlem, 1963 by Leonard Freed is a 19" x 13" limited edition photograph. The portrait is signed verso (back of photo) by the estate and Brigitte Freed wife of the photographer, with Leonard's Freed's Magnum stamp (photo back). Available: 4/10
In the image of Fire Hydrant, two children enjoy a blissful moment of Harlem summer in 1963. A city hydrant spraying water offers the children relief from the sun’s heat. They smile, as water soaks their body and collects along the street. The portrait captures a moment of celebration, joy, and simplicity of childhood experienced on the steamy asphalt streets of Harlem.
Leonard Freed's photographic career is punctuated by legendary documentary photo essays such as Black in White America with Fire Hydrant, Harlem remaining one of the photographer's iconic images from the series. LITERATURE: W. A. Ewing, N. Herschdorfer, and W. van Sinderen, Worldview, Leonard Freed, Steidl, 2007, p. 127.
Provenance: Freed archive.

Leonard Freed was born on October 23, 1929, in Brooklyn.

A Magnum photographer, Freed traveled widely, photographing African Americans in America from 1964–65, events in Israel from 1967–68 and in 1973 and the New York City police department from 1972–79, to name a few celebrated assignments. Freed’s coverage of the American civil rights movement made him famous, although he continued to produce photo essays on New York, Italians and many other subjects.
