About the Item

The aerodynamic shapes and chrome accents embraced by industrial designers were a gift to a photographer like Louis Faurer, who was pursuing a sleek and stylized vision of night in the city. In this photograph, Faurer uses the light reflecting on a row of parked cars to create a seductively glinting image. As for provenance - this print was a gift from Mikhail Baryshnikov to Howard Gilman (of Gilman Paper Company), a serious collector of photography and also the godfather of Baryshnikov's son. It is inscribed on the overmat verso "To Howard, Love Misha, Shura, and Billiy" The sheet size is 11 x 14 inches, with an image measuring 8 1/2 x 12 3/8 inches. The print is signed, titled and dated in ink on recto. Also signed on the overmatte on recto and on verso.

West 28th Street (from the series A Story of the New York Subway)
By Kazuo Sumida
Located in New York, NY
14 x 11 inch gelatin silver print. Edition 15. Signed on verso. Kazuo Sumida first visited New York in 1995. He found the city to be one of “both bustle and silence,” particularly the underground world of the subway, where he encountered “a place full of characters.” By 2002, he had produced a large body of work of images taken in this subterranean metropolis – tender scenes of lovers and children; gritty portraits of beggars for whom the subway is home; artists, musicians, commuters, and others who pass through the tunnels on their daily journeys. The resulting monograph, A Story of the New York Subway, was published in 2002, and this image appeared on the cover. Sumida was born in 1952 in Kochi Prefecture in southern Japan. Although photography was not his formal career, Sumida has pursued the art throughout his life. He graduated from Osaka Photography Graduate School in 1983, and also studied at the International Center of Photography in New York, on a fellowship from the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs. He lives in Japan, and continues to visit New York frequently. His work has been shown at the Tokyo Ginza Kodak Photo...
