About the Item
Coco Chanel Writes at Desk in Window, Head Down, 1957 -- Coco Chanel was photographed for LIFE in 1957 at the age of 74 during her “comeback.” She had retired in 1938, a rich woman with 3000 employees, but unable to resist the lure of fashion, had re-entered the business in 1954 where “…she was sensationally successful.” Mark Shaw's informal, grainy, black and white images of Coco Chanel were created using an unobtrusive 35mm camera and film processing methods that enabled him to eliminate all other photographic equipment. Although Shaw's techniques increased the grain and contrast of the photographs, the lack of intimidating, distracting flash and lights allowed him to capture an unusually relaxed Chanel. Image size is 22" x 32" (for 24" x 36" paper size). All Mark Shaw prints are made to order in limited editions on Hahnemuhle photo rag paper. Each print is Estate stamped on the back and signed and numbered by David Shaw, and accompanied by a letter of authenticity. Lead time is four to six weeks, but we often receive them sooner. *Please note this image is available in several sizes. Prices increase as editions sell out.
A black and white photograph of Coco Chanel writing at her desk. She is wearing a suit with a black collar. She is also wearing a hat. Her desk is right by a tall window. She has her head down. Her desk is in a nook framed by two curtains. There is a room beyond her desk. There are sofas, chairs, and lamps.
